Samsung SSD Pro Series vs PNY Prevail Elite

[pseiko000]

why is samsung ssd 840 pro series so bad rated (3490) ? it has read/write speed 550/530 mb/s and 90k/100k write/read ipos. it should be much better than most of the listed ssd?

manufacturer pny has on their website information about pny prevail elite ssd9sc240geda
read/write 550/512 mb/s
random r/w 85k iops
but it has much better ranking than the samsung ssd (457

i'm wondering how that could be. if i onla compare the iops the samsung ssd should be better than the ssd from pny?

We only have a small number of samples for the pny prevail elite. So the result might some down a bit as we collect more data.

But with SSD and HDD testing the results can vary a lot depending on the test scenario & manufacturer's claims aren't always 100% accurate.

I wouldn't touch PNY anything, they just ignore warranty requests.
