Ordinary PC, 12900, 64 GB memory, Windows 11 Pro
I just put a Samsung 870 QVO, 8TB SSD in for image storage. It's going to get a fairly high amount of intermittent traffic, particularly when building large previews and doing other Photoshop and/or Lightroom processing.
Samsung is all over "Magician", and they make it SOUND like it will significantly improve performance. I have installed the Magician software, and it's nice to do a benchmark, and maybe a diagnostic scan, but I asked over in the Samsung forum about what it ACTUALLY going to do in terms of real performance gains. Question is just sitting there. I've done some rummaging and I can't find much information about HOW over provisioning and RAPID are going to do anything, just that they're REALLY great...
So, hopefully somebody here is familiar with the software and can tell me

- What is over provisioning is actually going to do for performance? Or anything else that makes it worth taking 3 or 5 or 10% of the storage capacity away.
- What is RAPID going to do? It SOUNDS like it's going to take some (don't know how much) system memory and use it as a cache for operations to the SSD. And it REPORTS phenomenal speeds but the operations are still going on AFTER they're reported as done. This sounds like Windows write caching, which I have turned off because if I'm shoving a couple hundred GB of images around and have a problem, I don't want risk losing a bunch of work. It doesn't happen a lot, but it DOES happen with the various image processing tools that I'll occasionally hang Windows, or even crash it.
