SSD Slow

[Harry99710]

i have a Samsung 850 Pro SSD as my main drive but whenever i copy a file to it the windows copy dialogue says that its going at a rate of 50mb/s when the Samsung software says that its write speeds are 1.8gb/s. the samsung software also says something about it being in an IDE mode or something but its connected via sata. my motherboard is an gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2P and in the bios it has no options for switching to SATA. i have rapid mode enabled on magician but it still stays at 50mb/s. is there any way i can speed up this SSD write speeds?

Do you have the AHCI mode in the BIOS settings?

 

Edit: Couple of factors may be slowing your drive.

 

1) Old SATA port

If your SATA port is an older revision, it can be really slow.

2) Copying

Where are you copying the files from?

3) AHCI

Read the above.

I need an answer to this too, same drive same problem but slower speeds still.

these are the only disk related options in my bios

What happens when you enter the drive (the SSD)?

 

Ooh it's the jumpers that may be causing issue. Try putting the SSD to Master and the CD drive to Slave.

Thats quite the ancient BIOS you have there chum. Doesn't look like anything in there can help you.

maybe its too full? try to clear up like 50-100gb and try again.

just these options

Disable RAPID mode then perform tests , then you will know whats the problem (if speeds are significantly slow) .

 

Secondly Speed also depend on what you are copying , if its a bunch of small too many files then speeds will be slow . Also it also depends where are you copying from , if your disk that you are copying from is too slow , your SSD cant help .

 

Hope this helps .

 

Kind Regards

that copying screenshot was me copying a 3.9gb recording from my hitachi 7200rpm HDD

so basically get a new motherboard?

That's it. You're copying the file from a slow mech drive (which can't perform faster than that) to an SSD. The mech drive is bottlenecking the SSD.

Ideally, you MUST have AHCI mode set for your drive. In your case,it is set to IDE mode. I checked your mobo's manual and it doesn't seems like it exist. Your mobo is just too old.  reason you must have ahci mode is it's to enable the SSD's trim command. 

 

What are you copying from to get that 50MBps ? Seems like you're highly limited to the reading speed of whatever that avermedia folder is. 

 

As for the performance benchmark. that speed you get is including the cache and/or broken because your board only has sata2 which is limited to about 250MBps

so you should be getting 150MB/s aproxx

thanks. ill get a different board

that drive is your bottleneck. you cannot expect SSD write speed of 250MBps when your maximum read speed is 50MBps

basically yes, using a 2016 SSD with a 2009-2010 mobo is like.... a big issue here. You're mobo was not designed to be used with ssd so it ain't gonna work optimally either way
