Just got a 850 evo yesterday and man its crazy fast. One problem. Whenever i speedtest it in Samsung Magician i dont get the advertised speeds. My specs.

CPU: AMD 8350 Black
MotherBoard: Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
RAM:Corsair Vengeance 8gb 1600 Mhz.
Graphics Card: Gtx 970 Twin froze V
Storage: Samsung evo 250gb + WD 1tb Black

As long as its somewhere near then that should be OK.

Mine (250gb evo) changes every now and then. Last time I checked it was 494 read and 425 write

Advertised speeds can usually never be achieved in practice - even in benchmarks. To get them you would need an ideal situation in terms of having a specific SATA controller and testing with very specific tests. There is nothing wrong with your SSD, it's just how things in the industry work - as you can see it is plenty fast, so nothing to worry about.

The SATA 3 ports built into the board or on an external chip? You need to be using the ones native to the board.

sata3 port 0 or 1 for an OS drive.
