New SSD not performing up to par (Kingston A400)

[sikcool123]

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600

ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

HyperX Fury DDR4 2666MHz 8GB

Kingston A1000 240GB M.2 SSD

Phanteks Eclipse P400S

Corsair TX550M 550W PSU

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB ARMOR OC

My mobo only has SATA 3 inputs and I used a SATA cable to connect the ssd.
It's a kingston A400 480GB SSD.

I've tried using the Kingston SSD manager to update the firmware, but it will only show my other 240gb drive. According to win10 update my drivers are up to date on my ssd.

I'm not sure what the problem could be, so any help is appreciated.

Can you show screenshot from AS SSD benchmark?

Should be like this:

On the userbenchmark test I got
Read 200
Write 89.2
Mixed 78.3
SusWrite 281

Why the disparity?

Remove it from Storage Spaces.

Remove it from Storage Spaces.

Is using windows storage spaces bottlenecking it?

I think the reason I added it there in the first place was because the ssd didn't appear under storage drives so I couldn't access it. How do I access it if I remove it from storage spaces?

Go to Control Panel\Storage Spaces
remove drive from pool and
delete pool.

If you have any data in the pool, then backup it to some other drive before deleting storage pool.

once you delete it from the pool go to disk management to add a drive letter

I did as you said and these are my new results:

and on userbench:
Read 300
Write 103
Mixed 84.7
SusWrite 267

It got an improvement on userbenchmark and stayed about the same on AS SSD bench.
It's still not performing as well as it should on userbenchmark though.

That is Kingston A400 you're benchmarking there (not A1000).
Results are appropriate for A400 too.

I've been talking about the A400 all along, the A1000 runs just fine. Sorry if I was unclear.
According to userbenchmark its:
Performing way below expectations (6th percentile)

Which is why I figured something was wrong

It's fine then. Results are appropriate. Similar to what others are getting.
