Bad SSD speeds

I just got my mx100 512gb yesterday (its 1.40am here) and i ran a few tests as the boot up felt a little slow for an ssd (my bro has one so i know how fast bootup should be (approximately). To my surprise, both the reads and writes were ~350, which really sucks for an SSD. I would like to know if other mx100 512GB users are facing the same problem and / or if there is a way to fix this. All i did was install windows and some applications, no other installations or anything affecting the SSD was running while the benchmark was running. I used crystaldiskmark and as ssd.

The drive is about 1/5 full.

All sata connections are sata3 and i tried multiple sata3 connections.

What can i do to fix this? Can i send it back because of poor performance?

I am running both of the 990FX chipset (not the incluses asmedia one). I had spare cables from my bros z87 extreme4, no difference. Check alignment?

perhaps your chipset drivers?

Meaning? I am running both (HDD and SSD) of the 990FX chipset (not the incluses asmedia one).

Make sure AHCI is enabled, make sure you have updated drivers, and that you're using the intel SATA ports.

Then alignment must be off or something else, thats wrong with ssd itself.

Make a backup and do a secure erase. Restore the backup and retest.

If you read the above you'd know i had AHCI enabled and i am using the latest drivers and i am using the AMD Chipset (not intel) Sata ports
