I just bought an 850 EVO and I am having an issue. My startup is slow and general performance is slow. My SSD before was an 840 EVO SSD and it was blazing fast. I have an AMD motherboard (ASUS M5A99FX) Here are my numbers.

Sequential Read: 536 (540)
Sequential Write: 502 (520)

Random Read: 46925 (98000)
Random Write: 42074 (90000)

Somebody please help!

Solution
Did you update the firmware of your SSD? You can do this using Samsung Magician. You can also do some optimising for the SSD using also Samsung Magician.
