Let's hope A400 120gb is not complete shit

OH SHI-
how do I fix this, a caddy maybe?

retard, a thread died for this

yikes, is it possible to change this

>the current state of Jow Forums
Also Kingston and those WD green SSDs are utter trash tier, they even have worse speeds than fucking chink clones like Kingspec and Kingdian based on userbenchmark results.
Jonathan Ortiz
on a desktop, yes, by replacing the mobo and possibly the cable. On a laptop, no.
Ian Rogers
all my MB ports are 6Gb/s and so is the cable
Angel Martinez
werks for me

Elijah Brown
speccy listed it wrong, its using sata 3
Luke Morgan
all sata cables should do 6gbs, "sata 3" cables merely upgrade the plug to include the clip

Thinking on buying that hot new ADATA
consensus?
should I pull the trigger or...
an hero
Mason Taylor
the only decent cheap brand is crucial
Elijah Edwards
dude the ADATA is insane RN, I just don't what its lifespan would be and I'm sketched out about that particular aspect of cheaper flash storage.
People haven't really run it through r/w endurance tests or I'm too lazy to have looked them up.
Isaac Barnes
Wouldn't it be chinkston
Austin Long
it's a memepad T530, it has SATA3.

Is it normal for SSD write speeds to be so variable? These were all done consecutively to the same partition (no filesystem/other overhead, just disk).

Gabriel Cruz
delet this sir
Cameron Howard
overhead is significant; try copying larger size like 10GB

OP your craptop boost faster, STFU and enjoy it.
Aaron Hughes
>overhead is significant
What do you mean? I'm writing to the raw disk (writing partition /dev/sda2 back over itself), not the filesystem, so no overhead.
>like 10GB
I don't have any larger partition I'd wish to risk. Plus that would require unmounting root filesystem.
Ethan Price
OP reporting. You are unironically right. Even this "shitty" 290 MB/s are still way better than the ~80 MB/s I got with the HDD, AND it has all the other advantages too (zero noise, zero drop damage, no heat, etc)
I'm just gonna live with it.
David Hill
It just means there's cost involved in the operation that's independent from the size of the file, and if you use larger files for measurement this cost's effect on the measured time would be smaller percentage wise.
Also if you're reading and writing at the same time from/to the same disk you're unlikely to get accurate results for either
