Could be typical if your OS doesn't support TRIM and you have written to a lot of the drive. What OS? – Mokubai – 2016-01-20T16:11:39.527

Or if (like me) you attached the drive to a controller without TRIM. – Hennes – 2016-01-20T16:30:26.370

Even without TRIM the write would only be reduced, not the read. That drive should be a lot faster. Benchmark it on a bootable OS first to rule out software. – Linef4ult – 2016-01-20T16:55:31.630

Looks like classic SATA-300 speeds. Also potential write bottleneck from lack of cache, or just crappy SSD. – qasdfdsaq – 2016-01-20T17:24:46.443

is your question answered? – magicandre1981 – 2016-01-30T08:21:03.927

It looks like your motherboard only supports SATA 3Gb/s and so the max transfer rate is about 250MB/s.

How did you determine his motherboard only supports SATA II? – Ramhound – 2016-01-20T18:20:13.253

@Ramhound he sues a SSD which supports 6Gb/s, but the 250MB/s in the benchmark are the typical values for using it on a SATA 3Gb/s port – magicandre1981 – 2016-01-21T05:19:36.087
