Slow SSD write speed

Sooo I think my SSD is not pulling its weight when it comes to writing.


This is with a SATA 2 controller on my old mobo (7 something based lol)

Since it is a used drive the odds are that it is suffering from the same thing that all drives suffer from. The write cycle falls as the drive gets used more. I tested my 3K 240 and I get numbers worse than you at the 4K test but better for all the rest. How full is the disk?

 

At the end of the day I would not get to worried as the benchmarks for throughput have little to do with the way the real world computing experience will feel.
