First my ssd: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178456&cm_re=pny_xlr8-_-20-178-456-_-Product
This is my first SSD I've ever gotten and was part of my first build. I am very pleased with it, however looking at some benchmarks, the write seems to be underperforming. Looking at the max Sequential Read and Write speeds, I should be getting up to 500MB/s Read and 475MB/s Write. According to CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD Benchmark, I'm getting about 505-435MB/s Read. Very happy with that. My write speeds however, aren't so great. I'm only getting about 175-165MB/s. My motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 rev 4.0. From what I know all of my ports are SATA3 6Gb/s. I also think my ssd is plugged into the sata 0 port on the mobo, so I think I have it plugged into the right port.
All benchmarks were done with default settings, the exception being on CrystalDiskMark the number of passes was decreased to 2.
EDIT: Just realized upon posting that CrystalDiskMark had a very slow write speed. I'm not sure what the cause of this is. It normally reports to about 175-165MB/s.
