I've recently looked at the condition of my SSD because of my poor startup time for my programs and saw that my read speeds were sort of poor compared to others. I used Crystal Disk Mark and these were my results:

Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 2520.556 MB/s
Sequential Write (Q= 32,T= 1) : 1371.854 MB/s
Random Read 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 110.575 MB/s [ 26995.8 IOPS]
Random Write 4KiB (Q= 32,T= 1) : 105.063 MB/s [ 25650.1 IOPS]
Sequential Read (T= 1) : 1618.766 MB/s
Sequential Write (T= 1) : 1373.599 MB/s
Random Read 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 34.493 MB/s [ 8421.1 IOPS]
Random Write 4KiB (Q= 1,T= 1) : 78.975 MB/s [ 19281.0 IOPS]

I've used 33.8% of my SSD so far so it really can't be a storage problem. Are these numbers pretty normal or is there a problem?

Its a couple hundred points low but this could be due to outside factors such as it being in by the OS. Is it your boot drive when you are running this test?
What you have it connected to also makes a difference. Chiset/processor, Laptops/Desktop...

I've installed my OS onto the SSD. I've heard that a clean install of my OS could possibly fix this but I'm not too sure.
