Help me - SSD benchmarks

[TeleFragger]

ok so we support computers in laboratories and we do not support our own machines... go figure.. anyway..

starting to readup on all this SSD stuff, we are pondering using SSD in the Labs. So for sakes I asked everyone to install Anvil utility as it benchmarks non SSD too.
myself and one other guy have lenovo T440 machines with SSD. I have an intel and he has a Samsung.
I was reading up here that not only do you have to install an SSD but you need to make sure you have the SW installed. Could this be why I am seeing this?

INTEL SSDSC2BF180A5L SCSI Disk Device_180GB_1GB
Samsung M27TE128HMGR_128GB

are you wondering about your ssd being reported as scsi ?? or the test difference ?

the scsi reading is from intels drivers... , you can use Microsoft and it won't report drives as
scsi

or the test difference ?

It has to be the performance. I mean the second SSD is showing up as USB2 stick performance levels.

If the OP's 1st one is is the same as this one Intel® SSD Pro 2500 Series (180GB, 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s, 20nm, MLC) Specifications - It is performing way below spec.

Sequential Read 540 MB/s
Sequential Write 490 MB/s
Random Read (8GB Span) 48000 IOPS
Random Write (8GB Span) 80000 IOPS

Can't find anything on the 2nd drive though /shrug
