atm its set to advanced, is it really worth using samsung magician
Here is something that might help you
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1966301/samsung-840-evo-120-low-read-speeds.html
Check out the comments and suggestions. I see a HUGE amount of complaints about the EVO but nothing for the PRO series. Maybe firmware issue?
Anyways, try this chaps suggestion and see how it goes.

The Benchmarks don't look to bad to me tbh. You could always try the Samsung Performance Restoration tool http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/us/html/support/downloads.html
(scroll to about the middle].
Boot times depend on a lot of factors. To name a few:
- Is the SSD partitioned with a MBR or a GPT (Uefi Boot)?
- Is fast boot enabled?
- How many USB Devices are connected?
- The motherboard boot options ( quick memory chek...)

Ok which reading would be more correct i would say the CrystalDiskMark, so maybe i just don't have the Samsung Magician program set up correctly, i have been told bye a computer shop they wouldn't use it, they just don't recommend it when they build systems

I did some changing of the SSD's i now have the 128GB as the OS drive and the larger one as the games drive.
I have follow the guide on Tom's you sent me and now my used space is now 35.7GB spare space is 83.3GB does that sound about right.

What size is the larger one?? Don't think you mentioned it
83.3GB of free space? Ya sounds about right to me. With mine and all my programs that i have on the C drive i have about 77GB of free space. So it looks fine to me

One thing does annoy me too is why isn't the size of the programs show up when you get to the uninstalled, there is a lot of stuff missing on some things like Publisher, Size & Version, i know its not windows fault its the companies who write the software it just would be nice to see that extra info.

If you go to the file install location you can click properties and it will tell you. It's usually little bit more since files are stored all over.

Ah ok, so through the uninstaller page size is different but if you go where the programs are installed its more of a correct read

I suppose so, depends i would assume on what windows is seeing in each locations

That is one thing i don't like how windows installs programs spreads them all over the hard drive, i like the MAC system better where it keeps everything in one area, I remember reading years ago where WINFS was going to be more like the MAC file system unless i wrong or miss understood what i was reading at the time.

Mac does the same thing. In the programs list.. it shows everything from the registry to other locations the software installed somewhere else and the main program etc. If you look for it in the drive it only shows what you click on. Its not windows fault. Just how computers work.
