Is it normal on hybrid HDD to have faster write speeds than read speeds? My Board is an old
SATA 2 socket 755 so I'm not going to get SATA 3 speeds but I'd always assume read speeds are usually faster than write speeds in general?

My read speed using AS SSD Benchmark are 88.08 MB/s but my writes speeds are 151.80 MB/s
The benchmark was fast on my main SDD drive but took nearly an hour on the hybrid drive to complete.

Cheers!

For a hybrid drive, it depends on exactly which part it is reading and writing to.
If it is reading from the HDD portion, it will be much, much slower than a write action to the SSD portion.

And you don't have any control over that. The drive firmware does it.

It just accrued to me that AS SSD is for benching SSD's maybe I should try a regular HDD bench tool. Does anyone have any recommendations for malware free HDD benching app?

Cheers!
