Bad writing speed on intel ssd

[Emptyname]

So i have had my intel 520 120gb for about a year and just until now i decided to benchmark it with crystalmark. My scores are usually 470 read and a low amount of 130 write while it's advertised as 520 read and 490 write. I have 76% filled up and i'm pretty sure it's not because of that so please help me find the problem!

Did you format the partition with 8k clusters? That would do this.

Run AS-ssd and check that the partition is aligned correctly.

Of course with 76% full, if you didn't over-provision the drive, you may be over-full and seeing the resultant performance degradation.

hehe, you are one hell of a fella. Might you Show your Crystal mark Benchmark?
I personally would recommand you to download the Intel Toolbox for ssd.

Okay so i messed with a setting in crystaldisk The test data from random to 0x00 0 fill and that made me get 490 read and 490 write, so my ssd is fine?

To me it Looks fine.
