Hello,
Last week I got the new Samsung F4 2TB drive and installed it in a Win7 64bit PC. It seems there's something wrong. I tried both MBR and GPT, and 4k and 512bytes formatting, but the result of the read benchmark looks like this:
For comparison's sake, the other drives in my system:
Samsung F3 1.5 TB:
The boot SSD drive:
The spikes are only present in the F4. I have tried connecting it in all SATA ports in my system, using different cables, using Windows 7 64 and 32 bit (even fresh installations), and while there may be different speeds at times, the average remains below 75MB/s and the seek time above 20ms no matter what I try, and the spikes in the HD tune graph are always there.
There's another long thread at Anandtech where I'm trying to resolve the issue with no success so far.
Any ideas?
