It doesn't look like you have Intel SATA drivers installed.

Edit: These should do the trick: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25165/Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-Intel-RST-RAID-Driver

Do i need to install RST even tho i am not using Raid etc?

Yes, it's one of the first pieces of software I install when installing Windows.

if its sandforce cotrolled you might wanna try atto benchmark,i don't think crystaldisk takes into account of non compressionable data hence the low figures

i tried atto, does this look much better to you?

yh looks alright,can still install the rst drivers if you want though,it wont hurt
