Halo Thar!
Wondering if you can advise. I recently bought 2 x Samsung 840 EVO's (250GB) 1 for the Win*.1 OS and one as a backup for the OS Restore Image.
I just did a benchmark (4 actually) after optimising the drives and noticed a big difference in the results.
The SSD with the OS resulted well (as far as I can see)
The secondary (Empty at the time of benchmark) didn't fair as well as the OS drive.
Do you think i'm neglecting something in Win 8.1? I treated both drives the same, bought them together, have been polite before violating them (bought them flowers and chocolate) Bios shows no difference.
Any ideas? Benchmark used was the native Samsung Magician latest build.
