I've had two different SSDs now (both Sandisk, one 64gb and one 500gb) that perform well below expectations. I'm not getting a noticeable boot time difference and according to CrystalDiskMark my read/write speeds are indeed much lower than they should (~330/300). This is the second SSD now, I've tried swapping SATA ports on my MOBO (both SATA3), made sure AHCI was enabled in BIOS, checked for new FW, and optimized the drives in windows.
HW if helpful:
AMD FX-6300
ASRock 960GM/U3S3
G.Skill RipJaws X Series 8Gb RAM
Radeon R9 280x
EVGA 500W Power Supply
So unless the two different cables I've tried or both somehow faulty I'm not sure what could be wrong here...Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
