Compatible with SATA6.0 Gb/s interface
Outstanding read performance, up to 545MB/sec
Phenomenal write performance, up to 520MB/sec

Sadly it only performs at this speed:

I'm running this SSD on my MacBook Pro (non retina 2012), which I'm pretty sure supports SATA III.
Would like to know if there's anyway to achieve the advertised speed, thanks.

The CPU not processing the transfer of data as quickly as the SSD advertises to be able to.
The source of which you are obtaining files does not transfer as quickly as the SSD can receive them.
The SSD is caching information during the transfer process.

It is a common occurrence in marketing for companies to advertise using the term "up to X amount of speed" to account for the many variables that can reduce maximum...
