So, I wouldn't really know any different unless I used the performance benchmark, but I'm using a relatively fresh install of Windows 7 and according to this...

...it's not as fast as it should be. I remember when I got it (about a year and a half ago) that it would easily do 90000 IOPS, and now it doesn't. Samsung seems to have removed the 'Performance Restoration Tool' from their downloads page. 

 

This seems to be a common issue with the EVO SSD's, but the question is, what do?

 

Thanks.
