slow SSD?

yes I know it says "up to"
but are there any usual reasons why it shouldnt run at the rated max speed?

(yes its plugged into a 6gb port)

2 things
1) that result doesnt look too bad imho
2) synthetic benchmarking doesnt show the full story.

i have a revo3 x3,
Up to 1500MB/s Sequential Read
Up to 1300MB/s Sequential Write

hd tune shows it doing 300mB/s
crystaldiskmark shows it doing 600mB/s

how full is the drive?
over 80% slows it right down

i get the best result using cystaldiskmark

no need to reinstall, just delete your old porn and uninstall old programs you dont use.

Partition aligned properly? If not it will affect speed.
