try running something like Crystal Disk to see what your read/write speeds are coming out to be.

Run Chrystal disk mark, maybe it's a physical problem with the drive. Also update chipset and sata drivers. All games or just some?

Hey there :)

 

As the guys suggested, try running a benchmark tool and see if the SSD is performing as it should (you can check your spec sheet for info regarding the performance). 

Make sure you are using AHCI mode and you have optimized your system for performance. The SSD that you have should come with a tool that can help you do all of that. 

 

Let me know if you need any other help or have questions!

The performance looks quite good and you shouldn't be noticing issues with it. 

Did you check the health of the drive? You should have a software that comes with it that can do that for you.
