Nice build log you got there. Stay away from UserBenchmark.

Run CrystalDiskMark and send a screenshot of your results.

Thank you good sir.

Yeah, what makes you think it's underperforming? Just UserBenchmark?

Not a problem. Have you run CrystalDiskMark?

According to your drives spec sheet it should do 500 read 450 write

currently running just waiting for the result

Cinebench R15/R20 for CPU bench. 3DMark/Heaven for GPU bench. Heaven is a good all around system benchmark too. CrystalDiskMark for drives.

Are you sure you have selected SATA AHCI mode in your bios/uefi, instead of IDE mode?

Keep in mind that there are some registry keys that also has to be changed in order to boot into Windows after changing to AHCI mode. They should be something like this:
  

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci - "Error Control" = 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\StartOverride - "0" = 0

Though google it just to be sure, you can find many tutorials online how to change from IDE to AHCI mode without needing to reinstall Windows.

It is under performing by A LOT. I've got the same SSD, that is why I was surprised by the results you showed. Just for reference, here are my results below. If you got the SSD's drivers up to date (I personally use Kingston SSD Manager to check for firmware updates) and still get this results there might be a problem with the SSD itself.
