Answer #1
Do you have all the relevant drivers up to date as well?
Answer #2
It may need a firmware upgrade, also some require optimization before you will get full performance from them, also check your motherboard that the SSD is installed on the right SATA port for best performance.
Also check in BIOS that it is set to AHCI mode.

Answer #9
Hi,
1st : only use about 75 – 80 % of the raw capacity, that way the SSD will survive longer.
2nd : can the SSD handle SATA III , if so , is it correctly connected to a SATA III Port on your mainboard , or is the port / SSD running SATA I or SATA II ?
2.5 : how many other devices are on the same BUS as the HDD ?
3rd : If you run a HDD benchmark tool , what speed does it come up with ?

Answer #12
not sure what it could then be …. is the os running on the ssd as well or is the ssd “standalone” ?
I’m taking it you are using win 7 , if so, just double check the SSD is set to NTFS as the format , not that for some reason the disk is on FAT32.
Lastly, what is the health i.e. S.M.A.R.T status of the disk, maybe it’s got some defect blocks ?
