Does this look about maxed out? Is this a good reading test? Update (03/04/2017) https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/198… I was told that this is at half speed.
If your drive is SATA III, then that’s about as fast as it gets. The maximum theoretical transfer speed of SATA III is about 750 MB/s. The real max is around 570 MB/s. If the drive is M.2 or PCI-e, you should expect better speeds. Anyway, your SSD is fast with little room for improvement.
Compare the read and write speeds you are getting to the specification of the drive. If you are getting around the same figure, it is working how it should. “Good” and “fast” are subjective. If it is working how it should, and you are happy with it, what difference does it make?
