Help! SSD/Windows misbehaving

So I just got in, turned my computer on. Half an hour later it boots up. My computer has a 60gb Vertex 2 drive installed and generally takes no longer than a minute or so to boot.

AHCI is on.
Windows install is a month or so old.
SSD is only a month or so old.

I'll be honest, It didn't actually seem lightning fast when I first in installed.

Here is the results of a crystaldisk benchmark that I just ran. Seems both really low and really odd.

Any insights appreciated.

EDIT: Apologies for posting in the wrong forum, I totally forgot about the Storage Drives section.
Thanks!

1. Windows 7
2. About 20% yeah, but it was more full the other day and it was much faster than it is now.
3. How do I find this out?
4. DFI 790FXB-M2RSH - Four SATA ports are populated - 2 for mechanical drives, 1 for the SSD and one that isn't plugged into anything (it hasn't been for months, it's for the optical drive when I occasionally use it).
5. I ran the windows performance test. Indexing is off, TRIM is enabled etc.
6. When I first installed it I ran a benchmark to ensure it was working but didn't really look at the numbers all too much and haven't benchmarked it since.
 
3. Firmware is 1.35.
2. Done this.
4. It says "pciide - BAD" and "103424 K - OK"
Why would this have happened? I'm certain it's set to AHCI in the bios but the only drive that is reading as AHCI is an ancient 320gb mechanical drive.
EDIT: Is it likely this is because my motherboard has a limited number of AHCI ports?
