Anyone have a clue why this benchmark is quoting over 3 hours for a test?

I already did, the issue is the read speeds seem to be fine but the write speeds are like 100 MB/s which is slower than the mechanical drive.
Even now the magician software is reporting the same thing. As you can see its not a boot drive, its a brand new mSATA with nothing written to it yet. I can't seem to work out what the issue is.

Go to Device Manager, expand "Disk Drives" and right-click the 850 EVO and select "Properties". Go to "Policies" tab and make sure "Enable write caching on the device" is checked (i.e. enabled).

Is this just software fuckery? I thought I'd just do a benchmark before I migrate to it.

For some reason I thought that had to be disabled, it already was by default also, I thought I was supposed to get high write speeds out of the box. Fuck it its late anyway I'll do all this tomorrow, I'm hoping after I migrate and let the magician software do its thing when its the actual boot drive it'll be all good.

What do you mean "do all this?" Check the fucking box and you are good to go.

I mean shifting all my media to an external drive so it doesn't have to copy all of it over to the SSD as its substantial, then later put it back on the internal HDD.

Is Samsung Magician worth installing btw?
I have the disk just laying around never used it

You have to write 40GB a day for like 4 years for your SSD to burn out. Don't worry about lifetime.
>>53726377
I don't think so unless you're using a sammy SSD as your boot drive. Doesn't seem much use to me right now.
>>53726379
More than that actually. For this drive its rated at about 80GB a day for over 10 years. I just don't want it full to the brim with my music and shit.

I have a 850 evo 250g has an Bootdrive currently

Ah well, you're already using it and doing well I guess so this software is rather useless now.
