Are you running a i7 930. That is a old cpu and platform now, thats probably your probem. It will probably perform much faster on a new board.

Has the SSD undergone the fixes Samsung released for the performance degradation?

Yes but my question is if my setting at the BIOS are correct for the SSD, like SATA3 firmware selection- set to onchip. is that ok?

or any other settings for that matter

Those speeds sound about right for the Marvell chipsets that would have been used to provide SATA3 functionality on the boards at the time.

 

The first Intel boards delivered with SATA3 were the Sandy Bridge/Cougar Point boards.  Which proved to be defective and became the subject of a recall. 

 

I wouldn't get too caught up with benchmarks.
