Hi,

I upgraded my HDD to "Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD, up to 540MB/s - CT1000BX500SSD1Z". When I test the speed using "OPTIMUM SSD Tool" I get this reads:
[ Read : 388.03 MB/s // Write: 324.47 MB/s ]
But what I read about the driver is should reach more than 500MB/s !! I don't know where is the problem. Is it from the SSD, or from the SATA cable, or Motherboard? Could anyone help me with is?
 
Solution
so the "problem" is that the ssd that u bought has no cache and so if it has to do random writes and random reads it has trouble whit that if you do simular data transfer its going to reach 500mB-s the advantage whit dram cach is that it can read random files an whrite random files faster because its first stores it in the cache so the speeds you get are normal

to realy get it watch this video

No!! What do you see? where is the problem here?

All my cables for my SSD and HDD plug-in into the red sata port

You want me to remove all my cables and test one by one of each red sata port?
Yes....test each of the red ports with the ssd and a speed test.
