Is my SSD underperforming ?

[nick-fury]

It's a Kingston SNVP325-S2/64GB (V+ series)

Motherboard is Gigabyte P55A UD3.

I'll be honest, my knowledge of how to set it up is limited but looking at the benchmark thread is seems performing twice as slow as some other drives in the same price range.

Also, if you notice the two pictures above there's quite a large gap in read and write speeds between the two tests.

Not sure if this is any use:

Thanks in advance for any help!

reads are ok but writes seem slower than spec

try device manager click -disk drives- double click on your drive- click policies- and tick " turn off windows write cache buffer flushing on the device " and tick "enable write caching on the device" hit apply and ok

should sort out your write speed

Unfortunately that didn't make any difference, 114 in AS SSD Bench.

Looking at the Rapid Storage program I noticed "SATA Native Command Queuing" is not enabled.

Any ideas how to turn it on ?

For the 64Gb version that looks fine. I have the V version 128Gb and get a fraction more on the read but about the same on the write.
