Sequential speeds extremely low

kster1 — Tue, 30 Oct 2018 04:38:26 GMT

Hi there! I'm just trying to figure out why my SSD (SSDSC2CT240A4) is performing poorly, I ran 'Userbenchmark' on it and it came back with the following:

Write 162

Mixed 184

SusWrite 190

42% 186 MB/s

Performing below potential (19th percentile)

If you could point me in the right direction or steps I should be looking at I would appreciate it!

Hi kevinkevink,

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.In order to properly perform a benchmark test, there are some recommended configurations that should be done. Please check them below:

Make sure the drive firmware is up to date. You can do this with the Intel® SSD Toolbox which is available from the following site: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28234/Intel-Solid-State-Drive-Toolbox?product=80096
In the Intel® SSD Toolbox, you can also run a quick diagnostic scan on the drive to check if there are errors with it.
It's also recommendable to perform a secure erase on the drive. This will delete all data in the drive, so before doing this, please make sure to back up all your data.
Connect the drive as a secondary drive to perform the benchmark test.
We recommend to use Crystal Disk Mark (standard edition) for benchmark tests. You can download this tool from the following site: https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskmark/

After doing these configurations, please run the test and let us know the results. You can take a screenshot of the Crystal Disk Mark output and posted here.Have a nice day.Regards,Diego V.
