So- I have ran into an issue where user benchmark files to complete the benchmark, due to incomplete results of the sequential read / write tests.
I combed through google looking for answers on how to resolve this problem, and I was unsuccessful. So, as a the knowledgeable nerd I am, I am here to present to you with a solution!
The Symptoms
When running user benchmark, you may notice this error:
WARNING: Could not set valid file size: The parameter is incorrect. (87); trying a slower method
Or, on your benchmark, you may notice this error: ” Benchmarks – excluding SSD, HDD”, and it will state your results were inconclusive
If- that reflects what you are seeing, then this post may be able to help you!
The Cause
Make sure the setting for “Compress this drive to safe space” is OFF!!!
I must have previously had this option enabled to try and save a little bit of room on my SSD, back when it was smaller. However- UserBenchmark will fail if that option is selected!
The Results

After unselecting the option, the benchmarks run as expected.
