Niether test was complete. Look at the details. I haven't had issue with it myself. My Optane 900p pegs that benchmark.

 

Not sure what you mean, all tests have a result?

 

Created support ticket with Futuremark.

Wonder what their explanation will be...

 

Benches are about as consistent as I'd expect from a modern consumer NAND SSD and the access times look spot on. Bandwidth could be higher than the mean for a variety of reasons.

I don't think the software is the issue. Probably UL's filter not accounting for legitamate variables in drive performance.

 

UL replied, saying it appears there is RAM caching software installed, but I have no such software.

 

No samsung magician installed?

 

So, if the benchmark requires certain criteria to give 'valid' or 'acceptable' results, that should be stated up front.

Also, it is advertised as a "test for measuring the gaming performance of SSDs and other storage hardware", but while I have three SSD connected, it only tests the Windows (C) drive, and does not offer to test anything else. I run my games from external drives, not my Windows drive, so how is that testing my 'gaming performance'?

Waste of three bucks.

EDIT:

I apparently missed that it does offer to test all drives, there is a drop down on the benchmark start page, so I stand corrected.

 

I scored 2 259 in Storage Benchmark
