In 512K and 4K read testing the 830 isn't quite up there with either the Sandforce equipped Hyper X or even the Micron controller of the Crucial M4. However the straight sequential test has it right up there at the top of the graph and in QD32 testing it's on a par with the Hyper X.

Write
It's a bit of a double-edged sword in the Crystal Disk Mark write tests. At the 4K end of the scale the Samsung 830 is definitely the slowest of the three SATA6Gbp/s drives on show, yet when it comes to large chunks of data it leaps to the top, giving some excellent write speeds.

i wonder if samsung can come up with a spinpoint equivalent ssd drive.....by that i mean achieve the same success with a low price and a good drive???Quote
I personally don't see samsung shifting alot of SSD's until the £ per gig ratio comes down alot, Personally I would spend up to £100 on a good boot drive, but I think £300 is asking a bit much. Especially when you consider a 80gig SSD and a terabyte can be had for the same money(even at today's stupid prices), and makes more sense for most people.Quote
id go for a 64 gb boot drive, and a 2tb storage drive
