I recently bought a W500 with a 256gb samsung ssd drive. Now it seems ridiculously slow at writing. I am copying files at about 30mb/s, but I can read them at about 200mb/s.
I tested it with the AS SSD Benchmark v1.4, and got a sequential writing speed of 34.64mb/s and reading speed of 196.95mb/s
When I bought it the drive had only been in use for about 240 hours, and according to the CrystalDiskInfo app it had 98% health.
Is there a bottleneck here somewhere? Or is the drive just plain bad. I'd really love it if someone could help me find some answers.
The main relevant (I hope) w500 specs for this machine are; T9600 @ 2.8ghz 4gb ddr3
