[SOLVED] ssd performing badly

[allup]

Just built a new computer: PC Specs:
CPU: Intel i5-8600K
GPU: Sapphire RX Vega 56
RAM: Corsair Vengeance lpx 3000mhz
SSD: Kingston A400 480gb
PSU: Be Quiet System Power 700w
CPU Cooler: Rajintek LETO Pro RGB
Case: Silentinum Pc Regnum RG4T Tempered Glass
MBD: Asus Tuf Z370-Plus
OS: Windows 10 RTL PRO
Everything was fine until I run userbenchmark it showed that ssd isn't performing well at all

UserBenchmarks: Game 98%, Desk 73%, Work 62%
CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K - 95.7%
GPU: AMD RX Vega 56 - 110.7%
SSD: Kingston A400 480GB - 36.9%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 C15 2x8GB - 97.5%
MBD: Asus TUF Z370-PLUS GAMING

CPU score could be better too. Be sure to get rid of all other open programs for the benchmark. Is the CPU causing low SSD score or the other way round?

I would do the following:

- Get CCleaner and run a cleanup

- Trim down your startup processes if possible (e.g. with CCleaner)



- Tweak your swapfile to have a min of 512MB and max of 16384MB (image shows 8192 for 8GB RAM system - set to 16384 for your 16GB RAM)


- Ensure write caching is enabled on the SSD (via device manage / SSD / Policies tab)


Check that trim is enabled via "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" (a response of '0' means it is enabled).


If all that yields no improvement, perhaps consider SSD firmware / drivers, but to be honest, I wouldn't waste my time unless banging my head off a wall.

Ouch. The brand is sold to perform @
480GB — up to 500MB/s Read and 450MB/s Write.


That userbench data is troubling, shown as

Read 166
Write 102
Mixed 86.3
SusWrite 234

I would not trust user bench by itself of course but would consult a more frequently used metric, like Crystal Disk Mark. Should the pathetic performance repeat, I would return the drive tout suite.

Today I ran this again and I got shitty result again what can I do?
+I ran the crystal thing https://gyazo.com/6d2729789a06a811a17666ffb5641e71

Thanks for answering. CPU is underperforming cause I haven't overclocked it like many on the site.

I too have the same SSD and see the same scores in userbenchmark.com

Apart from the scores, the SSD performs perfectly in crystalbenchmark and the OS is responsive. So, nothing to sweat over.

Agreed.
Like I said, userbench may be unreliable. The Crystal bench score has more credibility with experts. Go with it.

That said, the results were good when the SSD was not used as a boot drive.

Actually kinston released a new firmware update and it fixed my freezing problem, but ssd's speeds aren't special...
