Extremely Low write speeds.

[battler624]

Hello, thanks for taking the time to read this and possibly help solve my problem.
Noticing my windows lagging while installing a game to the SSD (I usually install to my D:\ 3TB HDD) i decided to benchmark the SSD. I'll post the all the results in 5 mins because the write is taking forever.
Weirdly enough, my writes were too low, all my HDD's and SSHD were 10-13X times higher.
This is my SSD. http://www.amazon.com/PNY-240GB-6Gbps-2-5-Inch-SSD9SC240GMDA-RB/dp/B007WT9UXA
My mobo is Z77-Sabertooth and i'm connected to the 6Gb/s port (brown one) with a i7-3770K and 12GB ram. (rest of the details of the pc are unneeded i assume)
Result of ATTO http://gyazo.com/319b76a390bd14a7b52e1d5c1453fa36
So far on the AS SSD. http://gyazo.com/da5f94c11fd3e90683b53ca6363b95e6

change sata port?

Dont i have to reformat if i do that?
Also the read speeds are perfect (500MB/s)

 

[battler624]

Changed port, removed all other drivers. nothing worked.
Will try a fresh copy of windows now.

Anything else i should try?

get in touch with PNY's tech support, write speeds that low are not an issue without a significant cause, could be a firmware bug.

PNY not exactly the Ferrari of SSDs. Did this happen all of a sudden? Are you like >80% full?

Have you seen the images, 4MB/s that's not just it 'not being the Ferrari of SSDs' he's been talking to us for long enough now that trim would have kicked in and done some clean up and trash collection etc.

Is it possible that the drive is running out of bad blocks?

Perhaps there may be a clue in CrystalDiskInfo's SMART report.
