Thalix I took your suggestion and upgraded my
500GB 850 EVO to a
500GB 970 EVO. The 850 specs say 500/mb read/write speed and the 970 EVO says 2500 read/write speed. However, I have both installed now and the actual performance tests show the older, 850 model is faster than the newer 970 model, unless I'm completely misunderstanding the results (see below);
Can anyone shine some light on these numbers? My goal in purchasing the new hard drive was to make Everquest load faster, but I notice absolutely zero difference in speed with the new drive. In fact, transferring an 8GB file took 8 seconds on the 850 EVO and it took 25 seconds on a 970 EVO. The new drive is much, much slower.
