[SOLVED] My SSD works well below potential says Userbenchmark

[Kudera]

I've just built my PC, I never had an SSD before but the instruction said to connect it in the same way as HDD. So I did. I formatted it and it works. So I run the benchmark

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/12526480

If it was couple percent either way I would not worry. But average bench for my SSD is 71% and I am on 39%!

Could anyone help me out here?

How it is suggested, be sure it is conecte to a sata 3 port (6 Gbps), or it is mailfunctioning.

Okay I understand, but which of the ports on my motherboard is 6Gps? I have 6 ports. I thought all of them would be? The spec on my motherboard says all 6 ports are SATA 3

If all of them sata 6 then try anotehr port or cable, if that doesnt fix then something might be wrong with the ssd.
