Converted internal SSD to external, are these read/write times normal?

Not really hugely experienced with SSDs, but I had a spare 500GB one that I want to use with my Xbox. It's a Samsung 850 EVO, and I put it in the enclosure of a new Seagate USB 3.0 drive.

I tested it on my PC and got this:

428 sequential read/438 sequential write.

43242 random read/41211 random write.

I appreciate this will be slower than if it were connected internally but is this considered normal speeds?

Cheers!
 
I would say there about right, read and write speeds below from the ocuk website

•Sequential Read: 540Mbps

•Sequential Write: 520Mbps

•4KB Random Read (QD1): Max 10,000 IOPS

•4KB Random Write (QD1): Max 40,000 IOPS

•4KB Random Read (QD32): Max 98,000 IOPS

•4KB Random Read (QD32): Max 90,000 IOPS
 
Thanks, I checked a review for a proper USB SSD and my speeds are almost identical so it seems like everything has worked correctly.
