Hello,

I have notebook ASUS K53SV. I have a good options in BIOS (AHCI not IDE), but during test I have a problem with write performance. The disk is very slow during write. I have optimized disk SSD (TRIM=0, defrag off, indexing off, etc). More details below. I use Win10 x64. Before I used Linux, I had the same problem with write performance.

Hello,
I ran software AS SSD Benchmark as picture above. OK I solved problem.
Device manager > Controler IDE ATA/ATAPI > Standard controller...>properties>Driver>Update driver>options 2> Give me list of drivers...>Standard controller SATA AHCI>next. After reboot performance is optimal.

Hey there, Richter888.

I'd suggest that you backup any important data which you might have on that drive, just to be on the safe side. After that, I'd recommend that you download the SSD manufacturer's diagnostic tool (or a 3rd party diagnostic tool of the manufacturer doesn't offer one) and test the drive for errors, to see if there's anything out of the ordinary.
If nothing unusual pops-up, next you should check if you have an available firmware update for that SSD model and update it if there is one.
If that doesn't help, you should try the drive with a different computer, to see if the same thing happens (it could be a faulty cable or SATA port). Note that you should make sure that taking the drive out of the laptop, doesn't void the computer's warranty. If you're not allowed to do that, you should send it back for testing and repairs, so that you don't void the warranty.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
