I recently got the Samsung 840 EVO 120gb ssd for my system and am wondering why, even though I have it optimized and in rapid mode, am I getting such low performance on Samsung Magician? here is the screenshot http://oi44.tinypic.com/35mk3cy.jpg , the parts that look pretty low are the write and the random read IOPs, any ideas why and how to fix this? Also I have ACHI on and am connected to a SATA III port, in port 0. Is my drive a dud or something?

Do you have File compression enabled? Did you have any antivirus or background applications running during the test?

No, I don't have file compression enabled and no I didn't have anything running at the time of the test. I consistently get really low scores even with rapid mode enabled, here is another screenshot from right now: http://oi44.tinypic.com/20tfh2u.jpg

It could just be because your motherboard has the AMD SB950 which sometimes has performance issues with SSDs
