Hi all,

 

I've just purchased a brand new (installed a few minutes ago) SSD (Samsung MZ-76E1T0B/EU 1 TB 860 EVO Sata III 64L V NAND Solid State Drive) and ran a userbenchmark and it states it is way underperforming? is there any reason a brand new SSD would do this, I'm rather confused - pics of mine singled out and showing average bench, mine is 80% and average is 117!

Speed will depend on your hardware, which you didn't list.....

If the drive is more than 50% full, that is probably the culprit.

That's a fairly old board. Are you plugging the SSD into the grey, or blue SATA ports?

It still has SATA 6G, so it should work just fine.

Yes, but it also has SATA 3G, hence the question.

Something is definitely wrong.. the SSD has just disappeared on me twice now, once while playing a game it just shut down, checked my PC and it's gone. Both times I restarted the PC and it appeared immediately.. wires are securely in..

There's 3 different colour ports.. it's plugged in the DARK blue one
