New SSD slow write speeds

So it seems a SATA 3 port on my motherboard is somewhat broken and that's why the SSD showed up as SATA 2 (with Intel Rapid Storage). I plugged it into another port and it works fine now

Hello everyone.

 

I've just bought a 1 TB WD Blue 3D NAND SSD and I've noticed I have some very poor write performance:

Read speeds are fine, this is a SATA drive. But write speeds are very bad.

 

Here is CrystalDiskInfo:

You're testing on a 16MB file, it's meaningless.

Yes, I'm sorry, I uploaded the wrong screenshot.

Ok so I've installed Intel Rapid Storage and now the write speeds are good:

But for some reason the SSD is now working on SATA 2 (SATA 300):

I'll try reinstalling some drivers to see if anything changes.

 

EDIT: uninstalling Intel Rapid Storage brings the SSD back to SATA 600, but makes write speeds unbearable.
