SSD seems much slower than it should be

Hey guys,

Just received a Samsung 830 256GB SSD today and have installed Windows 8 Pro 64bit on it.

I looked at quite a few reviews before buying this drive and after performing benchmarks myself I've noticed that the SSD isn't getting scores that are anywhere near as good as the ones shown in reviews.

Here are my results:





Just wondering if this is the sort of speed I should be getting from a brand new SSD? Everything seems to be blisteringly fast with a new copy of Windows installed but those benchmark results seems to show otherwise!

Any ideas why it's getting slow   results and how it can be fixed?

Thanks in advance.
