Hello Recently I benchmarked my ssd and saw that i have a pretty low write speed. Even Samsung SSD Software reports the same.
What could be the issue here?

You have an 860 EVO on an AMD MOBO and there is an incompatibility between the 860 EVO and AMD. You should use the SSD with an Intel controller or SATA AHCI controller, which is the default Microsoft controller.
