Hello there. so recently I've bought my new SSD the Samsung 850 Evo
I've installed it correctly and then cloned it, first of all I've got to say that I saw massive differences against my 500GB HDD. but when I open the "AS SSD Benchmark" tool I see that the pciide is Bad. I've enabled AHCI from my motherboard and set the values to 0 (On the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. shortened the process but you understand what I mean :) )
My Results: http://prnt.sc/e6lmma

(Also on the Samsung Magician program I saw that the AHCI is deactivated for some reason)
http://prntscr.com/e6lm51

My Motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M_LX_PLUS_R20/

How can I possibly get more advantage out of my SSD?. Thanks for the help! :)

I am pretty certain you have not enabled the AHCI in the BIOS correctly. Looks like you exited and not saved your changes.
Once you change it in the BIOS there is no way it can go back to IDE in windows by itself. I have seen this happen to people before exactly like this so just try again in the registry then reboot, fix it in BIOS and make sure you "Exit Saving Changes" from your BIOS.
