User Benchmark states SSD's Performing below expectations?

Getting very poor results for SSD's when performing "User Benchmark" test

System:
CPU: I5 3570K
Memory: 16gb Corsair Vengeance LP DD3 1600
Graphic card; GTX 650
SSD 1. (OS) Samsung 850 Evo 250gb
SSD 2. Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB
HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200 2TB
MOB: Gigabyte GA-Z77_D3H

SSD'S connected to Sata 3 Ports on MOB

Results of User Benchmark test:-
Samsung 850 Evo: "Performing Way Below Expectations"
Sandisk Ultra Plus: "Performing Below Expectations"

The Passmark score was 3621

PC used mainly for 4K video editing without any problems so far.

Where am I going wrong?

1| Benchmarks are one way of telling that a drive is good but in terms of real world usage scenarios, you wont even notice the lost speed. As long as you've got the primary/boot SSD connected to the fist SATA3 port that is native to your chipset, and that your motherboard is on the latest BIOS revision while you've got Intel RST and the latest chipset drivers installed, then there is nothing more to look at.

FYI, if you have any form of partition's on your SSD's, please remove them and keep each SSD as a single drive. Creating partitions on an SSD only kills them faster.

You forgot to include the OS and your PSU's make and model. On another note, are you running on any overclocks?

Please show us your benchmarks.

Thanks for your swift response. To answer your questions:

1. OS: Win10 Home Premium
2. PSU:Coolmaster GX 650W
3. Overclocked: No
4. MBO Bios not been updated
5. RST : Enabled
6. Latest: Chipset drivers: Not updated.
7. Not certain if I have Partitions on SSD's
8. The MBO has two Sata 3 ports together in one block, which the SSD's are connected to. Not certain which is the first Sata Port?

Note: Boot time from cold to usable screen, is about 20 seconds. I am able to edit 4K holiday videos of of around 100gb and output at 4K using Power director 15 without too much of a problem.

Hmm, never actually seen anyone use this to bench their components. I typically use crystal diskmark to synthetically bench drivers. I feel like AS SSD doesn't show proper results pretty much ever. I also like how you can tune crystal for queue depths. I'd give Crystal a try. Leave it at default 1GB for the test size but change the number of runs from the default 5 to 1 or 2 and see how the sequential comes out. Go in to the settings and change the queue depth to 10 & then run the random test. It'll show you result in MB/s but if you hover your mouse over that number it'll show you the IOPS.
