I have OS and few gsmes on my ssd. Its a 240gb kingston v300 ssd. I have 70gb free storage. I did a crystalmark bench test and my write speed was 180mb instead of the advertised 400+mb

Problem identified from simply reading the title.

Kingston played a nice little bait and switch on consumers with the v300 drive. They released it with decent synchronous nand memory chips, got good benchmarks and great users reviews; and then right before 2014 holiday season they switched the chips in them to synchronous garbage brand chips.
And that is why 2 years latter they are still trying to sell off their stock of them, and why they are ALWAYS on sale on newegg and other vendors.
