SSD read speed - something wrong?

[pipson]

I have got 2 SSDs on my PC and today I just received my Kingston one as shown below:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Kingston 240GB SSDNow V300 Drive SATA 6Gb/s 3 2.5" (7mm height) Solid State Hard Drive - (SV300S37A/240G) £113.99
Total : £113.99 (includes shipping : ).



My other one is a plexor and I get the following:

Read: 477mb write: 206

My Kingston I get
Read: 183mb and write 220mb which is nowhere near the 450/450 is something wrong? ive tried different cable and sata slot

I just got the item today - how am I suppose to change something I bought? I believe my motherboard only has SataIII and AHCI is enable. So if the case is where ive been sold something that doesn't meet the description I should complain and ask for a refund or exchange?

My current one: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/specifications/

and I got the Corsair Formula-z but I haven't touched as im waiting for my case (should come today around 1pm)

After doing some research it seems Kingston are ****ing with their customers, my ssd is working as intended but not as described. ill be returning this item.

I have a 120gb ssd already the plexor (very good no complains so far) - 2nd one I want is atleast a 250gb and those samsungs as much good I have read about them - just too expensive compared to others - I think ill be getting the Crucial M500 240GB which is £40 cheaper than the samsung

Sorry edited my post with correct SSDs.

To be honest Im not sure why you decided on the V300 over those three in the first place?

Managed to find one for £70! Couldn't resit as I already spending close to £500 on my other upgrades. ill be ordering the Crucial today to get it tomorrow. Now im thinking weather to replace my current PSU if im buying the ssd to future support 2x r9 280 as im getting one today from OcUk around 1pm and modular too any advice on that? or should I start another thread

A few extra quid for the Sammy will be very much worth it:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE250BW) £119.98
Total : £119.98 (includes shipping : ).

£40 more than the Crucial and you wont really notice the speed difference if crucial do perform as described!

lol seems im not the only one!
I currently have a Corsair 600W - doesn't even have enough cables for a 2nd GPU! I think im gonna hold back for now and just get the SSD as the main games I play hardly need a hardcore gpu let alone crossfire. Anyone had any problems with that Crucial M500 ?
