Is my SSD broken?

[SproutyPC]

Ok I have the SDSSDP-128G-G25 by Sandisk and I think it might be screwed, it takes ages to install games, for example, I dwnload CSGo via steam, and it will DL at 2.2mb and then stay frozen at like 7% and then continue after maybe 4 seconds, where as my HDD will rocket to 14.5mb and complete in a matter of minutes.

On the task manager the response time has been almost 8000ms?!? is this normal?

I try and run BF4 and not once has it loaded up (I checked for install origin issues)

So tonight I did a benchmark and my results are below:

Read Write
Seq 333.94 MB/s 12.84MB/s
4k 11.10MB/s 2.88 MB/s
4k-64 27.09MB/s 3.72 MB/s
ACC time 0.428ms 0.986ms

SCORE 72 8
105

So am I screwed?

Benchmarks on that SSD say it's too slow for ssd standards.

But your results are too low, there may be a problem. How long ago do you have the SSD?

It will be a year old this November, it has been better since I was finally able to get the Disk TRIM'd, I removed the Asmedia Sata driver as I think it may have been corrupt, sticking with the Intel controller instead

New Results since:
Read Write below
Seq 437.09/ 223.20
4K 11.31/11.29
4KTHRD 30.24/8.24
Acc failed on write with error 'could not open device \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0' read was 0.000

Score 84 42 and 163

That's exactly what i wanted to ask you, TRIM. Have you checked the S.M.A.R.T. values? There you may see if something is wrong too.

Ran both SMART scans (standard and Extended) both were successful, the life of the disk is 98% good and temps are good, I think the TRIM helped, but if you can think of anything that would be good, I plan to get a new SSD in the future, i'll use this sandisk as an extra drive for something

To restore the performance of an SSD there's something called secure erase (or something like that, i'm not sure) that completely cleans the SSD. But it's only recommended in extreme cases.
