That is purely fluctuation from the tests. Run it a few times in a row and I'm sure you will see around/below 13600

Once the files are loaded into RAM, there is no performance to gain from the HDD.

i think he was actually talking about DRIVERS even though the title of the thread says DRIVES

I'm sorry OP, I saw "drives" in the title and I swore that is what you said in your post >.<

Yes, drivers can help quite a bit actually.
