hi community, this is my first post ever, so have patient with me please...

well this is my problem, I hope you guys can give an advice or a fix for this.. thank you so much

I bought an used ssd, the guy told me that he used it for one year and a half the model is a corsair f240,, it is a sata 2, 250gb ssd https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xlf1/v/t34.0-12/12431382_568522569980901_664975279_n.jpg?oh=ea4309f354c15236a6be9b60ff2c7d8d&oe=5684B7F1&__gda__=1451547950_f2354b9c2f692adf830e48f1ac9d7bb5, and that it was working fine, even though the tag said that it was a refurbished ssd, he even showed me pictures of tests he made and they said that the ssd was in perfect condition. so after i bought it from him and i installed it in my computer I did notice a boost, but it wasn't as fast as i expected (bear in mind, this is my first ssd, so i don't know too much about their real world performance) so after benmarking the ssd i went to internet to look for benchmarks other benchmarks of different ssd's (I couldn't find my model) and when i saw the benchmarks, they were faster than mine, they could write and read more mb/s...
this is what i got from my benchmark


Seq Q32T1: Read: 186.9mb/s Write: 84.50 mb/s

4kQ32T2: Read: 18.9mb/s Write: 69.52mb/s

Seq: Read 180.8mb/s Write: 82.00mb/s

4K: Read: 16.88mb/s Write: 51.47mb/s



if anybody can give me an advice on how to make this ssd faster I would be very very grateful... have a nice day.

Theres a high probability that you can't. You bought a used SSD from a questionable source and may have to deal with the consequences.

If you read through this (http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead) SSD performance is consistent throughout their lifetime. This leads me to the conclusion that you may have been sold a dodgy SSD from your questionable supplier.

That being said, if you look up the make of SSD online, it gets fairly rubbish user reviews anyway.
