I bought new Kingstone Hyper X 3K 120gb 550/510. And I instlled windows on AHCI mode, but when I test it with AS SSD it say (around 260Mb/s read, and 200Mb/s write.) Am I missing something? Some driver, or some settings I didn't do earlyer? I'm new in SSD thing so if you can help me somehow I would appreciate it.

Gigabyte GA-A55M-DS2
AMD A8-3870 Quad core 3Ghz
8gb ram
Sapphire HD 7870 graphic.

Your Motherboard does not have SATA 3 it only has SATA 2 and the ssd is designed to run at SATA 3 speeds, thats why the ssd runs at slower speeds than it is advertised. if you want to fix this problem you would have to get a new motherboard with SATA 3 but in my opinion it isnt worth it its still many times faster that a mechanical hard drive

I'm gonna kill my vendor! I specifically said to him, give me some motherboard that have SATA3 on it, because I had SATA2 board already when I was buying new one. Ty for the answers folks. You helped me much. ;)
