It's a SanDisk unit IIRC. I'll pull out details. But last time I tested it for speed during benchmarks it was rating fairly high and had damn good transfer rates.
Disabling the page file is a great way to break a lot of programs with hardly documented error codes, sometimes nothing at all. On machines with plenty of ram, you could give them a meg and the program would run just fine.
Also, 7.6 is about what I get with a single Samsung 840 pro on windows 7. Seems about right, to be honest. Wouldn't let it bother you much, those numbers don't mean much.
A few months ago, I did a minor refresh of my home machine just before updating to Win10. Maxed out the RAM at 16 GB and installed a new 240 GB SSD as the boot drive.
As I'm limited to 16 GB of memory as a function of the motherboard, and I tend to have a lot of stuff open, the page file gets a workout- no way around that. But since I had my old 120 GB SSD, formerly the boot drive, now just sort of lying around surplus, I decided to do an experiment. I put that drive back into the system, declared it to be drive P, and moved the page file (set to 32 GB) to it, with nothing else.
This was done mostly because I wanted to avoid putting a lot of write cycles on the new drive (I'm still a tad superstitious about that), although it also has the theoretical benefit of allowing writes to occur simultaneously on the OS drive and the page file.
I can't think of any way to conduct an A/B test to gauge whatever performance gain or loss is realized by doing this (the new SSD has somewhat faster ratings than the old one), so it's not the most conclusive test in the world, but I'm pleased with the performance, and no longer fret about the workload I'm putting on the shiny new drive.
So yesterday i saw one of guitar centers ebay seller accounts listing the at2020 mic for 39 bucks. I thought it was a fake mic but i'm like eh wtf might as well get it and then i'll return it if it comes to it.. Bought one. Today i check again - mic is back up to 99 bucks
Not to get into a big MT debate about the relevance of any of it but isn't 3D Mark more about graphics? That is unless you want to go "all in" (as in spend $$$ to upgrade)?

3d Mark tests everything, cpu, ram, physics, graphics etc.
On a side note i received teh q502 today.. the seller fucked up the listing. He claimed it's the USB model. Nope its the standard non usb model so i'll try it but there's a good chance i'll return it.
Had a MX Master before this one and i always liked that one. This one is also nice accept the button for the page forward, its a little to small and on a little difficult to push
Replaced the EVGA GTX 970 SSC in the HTPC / VR rig for an EVGA GTX 1080 SC. Super sampling is a god send in VR, so the new card's been amazing in Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally VR. Also pre-ordered the Oculus Touch controllers, can't wait to play Budget Cuts.
