However the drive itself is still under performing and the Samsung Magician is saying that the drive is NOT in AHCI mode which i think is also another reason why i'm getting 284 read and 272 write which is slow for this drive correct?
I also have setup for maximum performance with magician as well so i am still confused why it is performing slower then it should.
The speeds you are getting seems to indicate SATA 2 and not SATA 3 speed - double check you are plugged into the correct port. Also you can run a disk benchmark such as Crystal Disk just to verify the speeds you are getting.
As for AHCI and Samsung Magician, there was an issue with the older versions where it would incorrectly state that AHCI was disabled when in fact it was enabled. Then again it is possibe that when installing Windows your bios was set to IDE and not AHCI and that is the reason. In that case the recommended approach is to reinstall Windows - there are ways of switching from IDE to AHCI without a reinstall but they are pretty complicated and do not always produce the intended results.
