[SOLVED] SSD write speeds dreadful.

[csukar]

Hi all, I've recently built a new computer and have just noticed that my write speeds are terrible on my SSD, here is my SSD.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/YUCUN-Inte...=1551705658&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=yucun+500gb

I have looked online and have checked everything i could find on google, it is set to AHCI mode, connected to a Sata 3 port, I have TRIM enabled and partitions seem to be aligned, here are my AS SSD benchmarks..

Have I just got a dud drive?

It might just be that's all the controller is capable of, could be anything, perhaps it can only write fast for a few MB and then starts to suffer more from being ramless. For £6 extra you can get a brand name one, with support.

You will need to provide your full system's specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

Also, I/we don't know what your expectations with a drive of that nature/brand like that is. In retrospect, the drive is performing as it should since the numbers advertised on their product page are numbers often skewed to make the results look good under a particular application/test/scenario.

Not surprised considering the brand.

YUCUN 480GB - £53
Crucial MX500 500GB - £58

Why o why choose the Yucun?

For your performance - That is either a faulty drive, or a faulty port.
Send it back and get a reliable drive. See what happens.

It's the drive.
