[SOLVED] New SSD very slow despite everything I'v tried I can't figure out why

[voltrex]

Recently I bought a new SSD-
Kingstone 480Gb Kingstone SA400S37480G
read/write speeds around 450Mb/s.

I did a clean install of Win10 on it with other HD drives disabled (removed)
yet the SSD is very slow and I get speeds of around read- 200Mb/s and write ~100Mb/s.
Windows 10 boot time 45second - 1minute.

As I own another PC I know that Win10 boot time takes only 15sec max.

my system-
Motherboard- Asus Sabertooth 990FX
CPU- AMD 8350FX
RAM- 16gb DDR3 1600hz
GPU- nVidia GTX 1050ti
PSU- 900W Antec
SSD- 480 Kingstone
HDD- Western Digital 1Tb BC
Hitachi 500Gb

I will be very grateful if you will be able to help me.

An inconsistent, budget drive. I highly doubt it can ever (reliably) do >400Mb/s.

Are you finding things slow in general, or just boot/startup? May just be a UEFI that hasn't been configured properly (AHCI, FastBoot etc).

I have installed a similar budget SSD on a friends PC and it is much faster then the performance I got.
In Bios it is checked as AHCI. Yet I do feel it very slow.
The bench marks show that the speeds are very low. close to HDD speeds.

What is UEFI? maybe It is not configured right.

Hi,

As far as I can remember your motherboard has a mix of SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 6Gb/s ports. The correct ones for the SSD you have installed should be coloured in Brown. If it's connected to a black or green connection, it will only be getting half of it's bandwidth that it can put out. That said if you switch it out now, it will ah heck up your windows 10 installation and your PC won't be able to boot into windows. Forcing a re-installation of Windows.
