Incredibly Slow SSD speeds even with updated drivers and AHCI connection.

Hello folks!

I have a problem which I cannot find an answer to.

I have read through many threads similar to mine but none have answered or help me.

So I've been experiencing this weird stutter and freeze/buzzing from my speakers/headphones when I have been rendering a videoclip and some other video has been open on the background.

So at first I thought it might have been ram instability or temperatures but no. I did a memtest run with no errors and all temps were max 65 under load.

So I went into bios pickered around a bit and reset the factory defaults. After I've done that I found that everything went suddenly very slow.

So I did a PC overall speed test http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/7385127

And I found out that my SSD was slow(I don't have a HDD).

Now. What should I do?

PC specs: I5 6600k
GTX 1070.
16 GB Vengance Ram
500GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
650 Watt Corsair Powersupply
Asus Z170 A Mobo.

Download Samsung magician.
Check to see if there is a firmware update that addresses your issue.
Magician will also do a performance test on your drive.

Is this stuttering a new phenomenon?
What settings changed when you reset to the bios factory specs?

That's either a bad drive, or possibly a bad SATA cable, or possibly a bad port on the motherboard.
Try changing the cable first.

This is what a normal 500GB 850 EVO looks like

Is it common for a worn out/broken cable to limit data traffic instead of completely being busted?

Perhaps I should try a secure erease first?

Common? No.
Unheard of? Again, no. It is completely possible a faulty cable is only providing partial connectivity.
