If not it can be a hundred diffrent things are you sure its not in RAID mode? Do you have a HDD hooked up too? Your BIOS might need an update there could be a problem with the OS and it might need to be re installed.

Are you sure the ssd is plugged into the sata 3 port on your motherboard? some motherboards have sata 2 and 3 ports and if you plugged the ssd into a sata 2 port that could slow things down look at your motherboards manual to make sure its in the right place.
