SSD speed Problems please help

[thechankwhoganks]

Hi guys, this isn't on my new rig but My dads. He is on the OG i7 860 platform on a asus p7p55d Motherboard. This motherboard does not have any sata 6gb/s but it does have 3gb/s sata ports. I recently got him a Samsung 850 evo 1tb SSD and I noticed the system was kinda sluggish. So i did a speed test in the samsung magician software and it showed it at a rating of 250mb/s for reads and 260 mb/s for writes. This is less than half of the rated speed. Is this because of his old platform or is the SSD at fault. I have all the AHCI and trim functions working and I set the it to maximum performance. 

 

Would it be possible to test it out on my rig which is the x99 platform 5820k. Right now I have 2 SSDS in raid 0 so I'm not sure if I could unplugg em and put in his ssd to test the speed because that would break my raid 0 array

 

Thanks to anyone that ends up reading/answering this

that's on par for sata3 limits. 3 gb per second is only max of 380 GiB/s but realistically 250-300 is more likely.

Try it in a different system.

you could add it on to your rig and not take out your other ssd's

so what is the cap for 6gb/s ? I thought it didn't matter

6 gb/s is 750 GB/s. It doesn't matter for hdds but for ssds it's very relevant.

8 b (bits) = 1 B (byte)

ok I will give it a go on my other comp and check the speed would i need to uninstall all of my dads Asus drivers for his mobo and cpu, since I have a gigabyte gaming  5 x99 and a 5820k? or would it be ok to just plug it in and test the speed ?

 

And would the Sata 3port even matter because the ssd only has 540mb/s of reads and 520 for writes while the port has 380gb/s ?
