Gygabyte GA-H97-D3H is my mother board , and its almost 7yr old. Please check my CrystalDiskmark Results and Samsung Magician. I have two more days left to return it. is this speed is normal on this mobo?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Using the image you've posted above, click on Drive Details and see what the speed of the interface is. Also, what BIOS version are you on for your motherboard at this moment of time? That motherboard's M.2 slot should be operating at PCIe 2.0 x2.

If you don't plan on upgrading the platform(to something current gen) then return the SSD and get something that's SATA based. If you're going to change to a current gen platform, then stick to this Samsung drive.
