Hi,

Im a complete noob in this so please bear with me.
I have had this samsung SSD (samsung evo 750 250gb) for quitte some time now and I started noticing (With steam and other game launchers) that the write speed is so bad that Im kind of ashamed about it

Its only averaging on 30mb/s, I have installed this magician tool and it says that the drive is in good condition and the benchmark says:

Sequential (Mb/s):
Read: 3,273
Write: 3,471

Random (IOPS):
Read: 69,681
Write: 74,188

Other specs:
Intel i7 2600K
Asus P67 Sabertooth @ Bios 3602
8GB DDR3 RAM


I dont know what information more you need but I can give you all you need as i will be near my pc for most of the time.
Unless im asleep, which i will be doing now since my mood has fallen below normal social levels.
 
Solution
How full is the SSD? Once SSD's get past the 75% full mark they begin to slow down and when they get past 90% they really start to slow down.


Its about 125gb full.
