[SOLVED] SSD Slow Writing but normal reading speed

[JoaoPauluu]

Hello, I'm having a problem with my ssd, it is a bx500 240gb from crucial (dram-less), bought it ~ 10 months ago, did a speed test on the week of purchase, everything was fine, but tried to run a benchmark again recently an those are the results I got (using crystal disk mark. Already tested other software and got the same results):

I've already tried to reinstall drivers, update firmware, tried running linux mint live on a usb stick an then run the benchmark but still got the same results, I even tried Defragging the ssd to see if it would help but nothing changed. Everything is just like when I bought it, but for some reason the speed has halfed.

Trim is enabled, drive caching is also enabled, AHCI mode, on a sata 3 port and cable.

Any idea of what could be causing the issue? Is rma'ing the ssd the only option?

Reseat the sata cable both ends...test
Try a different sata port on the mobo....test
Try a different sata cable....test

Do you have optimize setup in windows?
Is trim enabled in windows?

Hey man, just did everything that you said.
Tried a diferent sata port on the mobo, different sata cable, and different psu cable, nothing changed. 😕
I'm thinking about doing an ATA Secure erase next week and then reinstall windows
