Hi Paparansen, 

It seems the read speed is ok but the write speed is really low, can you try to sanitize the drive with SSD Dashboard and test again ? 

If the issue presists please contact our support center for a possible replacement

"can you try to sanitize the drive with SSD Dashboard"

what do you mean by that?

btw i tried another ssd ( sdssdp128g ) and get writing speed about 300-320 MB/s

in SSD Dashboard software if you go to Tools tab you can see sanitize option on the left, this will wipe out all your data on the drive so make sure you have back up before you do it

If you tried the SDSSDP on the same port, it seems to be performing at reasonable speed, I think replacing the drive will likely fix your issue 

[paparansen]

ah ok, i will do the "sanitize" and report the result. will be after the weekend.

[paparansen]

so, i did that sanitize thing. now i get about 160-180 MB/s

after a little more reasearch i think there are 2 possibilities:

- this ssd is damaged

- this ssd is NOT sdssda-120g-g26, it is sdssda-120g-g25

i contacted the retailer, they want to swap it / replace it.

[paparansen]

got the new ssd now - same problem.

i guess this ssd & the asmedia 106x sata 3 controller do not like each other.

is that a known problem?

[paparansen]

ok, this is not a sata controller problem.

tried this ssd on another 2 computers with different sata controller - same problem

write speed allways below 180 mb/s, most of time 80-90 mb/s

never ever i will buy sandisk again.

i would contact sandisk and see about getting it replaced.
