Low SSD write and read speeds

[tomkis90]

Just ran this and the results were not as I expected.
Is this normal for an SSD? if not how do I fix this?

What drive is it?
Is it connected to an Intel SATA III port?

Hi,

Your benchmark results are normal.

Advertised Read/Write speeds using CrystalDiskMark are up to 180MB/s Read and 133MB/s Write.

Your benchmark results indicate that you are getting 97.7% of advertised Reads and 65.7% of advertised Writes.

If you are looking the advertised 450MB/s Read/write speeds then you have to benchmark with ATTO.

If that is 'normal' for that drive, that is actually 'not great'.

Here are the 3 SSD's in my current main system, with that same tool and settings:

Your HyperX 3K has better advertised specs than the SSDNow v300 even though it is older.

But yeah, the benchmarked Write speeds of the v300 are not great.
