Low SSD speeds?

EDIT: forgot to mention that the ssd is a Kingston V300 120gb

a few days ago I got a laptop so I can take it with me to college(specs in my signature). I made a few threadss of what laptop to buy and because of my budget i chose to buy a second-hand laptop. it's been bought about a year ago(still has one more year guarantee) but that person didn't used it that much(it looks in perfect shape). one addition that the previous owner made to it was swapping the 500gb hhd with a 120gb ssd which speeds up everything

now here comes the problem. I never had any device with an ssd but after a few benchmarks i think that it gets pretty low sequential write speeds for an ssd

look at this screenshot

 the read speeds are very good(imo) but the write speeds look a litle low(the first one)

is there anything I can do to improve them?

 

 

 

also,  am I the only one that gets lower benchamrk results using windows 10 compared to 8.1?

in cinebench I was able to get 40-45 fps in the graphics benchmark and now i get around 27-30.

maybe it's just a driver problem that will be fixed in the future

Highly depends on the ssd he put in there. If he used a samsung 840 (non pro/ evo), then that speed is round about right, as the write speeds of tlc flash isnt very good. either way, the write speeds arent nearly as important as the read speeds, and those are looking quite nice.

 

since windows 10 just came out, those benchmarks numbers will likely get fixed soon enough...

Kingston V300, eh?

 

Sounds about right; not a very good flash in that thing.

forgot to mention the ssd maker and model in the op

 

the results from this benchmarking program seem better

I'm never buying a kingston ssd again. Don't know if this is the right way to test it.
