Samsung 256GB SSD ATA Device PM800

I'm running a Crystal Disk Mark to behchmark my SSD performance and I'm only getting 203.3 MB/s Reads and 23.83 MB's Writes



Is that normal performance on a SSD?



I'm assuming my writes should be a bit higher right?



I've done my research and I do have TRIM enabled (whatever that is)



Should I call Dell for a replacement?

Check in BIOS if AHCI mode turned on.

Well in my BIOS I can only choose from AHCI to ATA, and AHCI is selected

Make sure you have installed the latest firmware for your drive, either from Dell's site, or Samsung's based on your drive model.

I have the same benchmark with my PM800, it seems all of these models suffer from this slow benchmark. I have the latest available firmware for my drive and I have AHCI enabled in the BIOS. No one has been able to find a "fix" if there is any. I've been looking for months and it seems any system with the PM800 models have the same or very similar benchmarks including HP/Lenovo systems.

What Intel RST drivers do you have?? Go to device manager and look at IDE Ata/ ATAPI controllers. You should have 10.01 and the name of device must be Intel 5 series 6 port SATA controllers. If you have another name of it or version of driver is late then update it. If you need to update - tell me and will write how to do it

For my ATA channel 0, 1, and 4 it's driver version 6.1.7601.17514



For my Intel 5 series 6 port driver version is 7.0.0.1013



You need my Ricoh driver/device information also?



I need to update my firmware on my ssd but as EGM92 said since it has no affect on him, I'm not going to do it because I dont want to reinstall my OS
