wierd Read/Write speeds.

[Jesus-Kristensen]

Hi. just got a new Kingston SSD. it is supposed to have a Read write speed of about 500/500
but when i run it thru Crystal disk mark i only get ca 490/120. i wonder why this is.


i have a 2600K @5ghz with a Asus Maximus IV GEVE-Z
8 GB corsair 2133mhz memmory

this is one of the reasons why we do not recommend kingston SSDs here on LTT...

10/10 skin.

 

And try it in safe mode, it usually eliminates any other programs using the disk.

the strange thing is that my other Kingston Hyper X  SSD that i got a year ago (wich then had 450/450 read write when i messured it )

now has about 480/120. i have changed system from an AMD 8350 on an Formula-z board..

maby this is a motherboard issue?

when did you measure it? when you just bought it?

or right before you switched to the new motherboard?

when i just bought it. i changed the motherboard some months later.

yeah, there you go

it starts off new, with the correct speeds, then it degrades extremely quickly

 

just to be 100% sure, plug it into a different PC and see if its the same slow speed

pretty sure it will be, but you can always double check

 

the only fix is to buy a new SSD which is not from kingston

But.,,, this much?

ok. will try plugging them into a firends computer and check.

If the Write speed is higher on his computer. what could be the problem in that case?

yeah the kingston SSDs used really bad nand, just horrible

 

if for some reason its faster on his PC then on your PC make sure the SSD is plugged into a native intel SATA port, not a 3rd party one

then maybe format the volume and set it to AHCI in the UEFI if it isnt already

other than that I dont see anything else that could cause a speed drop

ok. thats dissapointing.

Thank you for the help.
