Why 545s have low write speed?

[hardlexx]

Hi. I have SSD 128 GB on M2 (545s). When I chek speed - is lower specification speed. When I Install Toolbox 3.5.8 and update firmware - no improvements. In stores feedback many users tell about this problem, but nobody solve.

Maybe, Intel have special driver for Windows 10?
