My PC specs:
MotherBoard: rampage IV extreme
CPU: i73960x
Memory: 32gb GT Corsair Dominator
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256gb
PSU: 1500W

Please see my performance results using Samsung Magician.

I dont believe my SSD is Performing the way it should.

Please help!

i installed the latest firmware and optimized my pc for maximum performance, but still i get these crapy results particularly with Sequential Writes and Random Write IOPS

Do you have ntfs file compression enabled? Or enable disk encryption?

Try AS SSD benchmark, one benchmark isn'tenough to conclude an issue.

Is AHCI enabled in the BIOs?
I know my AMD MB need to have it enabled to work at it's fastest.

lol it is that or a driver conflict that IRST has sometimes.

This should work: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/confirm.aspx?httpDown=http://downloadmirror.intel.com/22036/eng/iata_enu.exe&lang=eng&Dwnldid=22036

If not then just dont install IRST.

What made you think it is my IRST drivers that is causing the problem?

Is there somthing in the screen shot I sent?

What speeds should I be getting on the benchmarks?
Yes of course my bios is set to AHCI.
I have this SSD plugged into the 6gb sata connector on my motherboard with a 6gb cable. Its also the intel rst sata connector on my motherboard.

Did you see your write speeds? They should not be near that slow.

You're good now.

There is 11.7.1 IRST driver you could use. However, don't fix what's not broke?

Your scores are pretty good, you can improve it by running Prime 95 torture test on 1 CPU thread then run AS SSD, that will give you better 4K write results:
