The 256GB 840 Pro SSD I recently purchased is advertised at 100K IOPS read and 97K IOPS write. When I benchmark, I'm only getting between 35K and 45K IOPS write. I've tried trimming, I've tried the performance optimization within Samsung's Magician software, I have the latest chipset driver for my motherboard, the latest firmware on the SSD, and I'm using the actual SATA 6Gb/s ports, NOT the ASMedia SATA ports. The drive has over 150GB of free space and it's running in AHCI. The drive is less than one month old
Can someone please tell me why my IOPS write is less than half of what it's supposed to be? I'm about to return it, because I specifically bought this SSD to replace my Intel 520 which had 80K IOPS write
