I have a Kingston SSDNOW on sata 2.
Doing a benchmark i get these results:
As can be seen, the sequential write performance is terrible. Below even 100 MB/s.
Also why do the tests labelled 4k show such terrible performance.
Is my drive dying?
I am on windows7 with trim enabled.
Update
The exact model of the SSD is:
Kingston SSDNow V100 256GB
It claims 250MB/sec read and 230MB/sec write speeds

Best Answer
Typical lower-end Kingston SSDNOW SSDs are rated for 6,000 read IOPS. Yours is rated for 3,300 read IOPS. A 4KB read is 4,096 bytes. So 12.33MB/s is 12.33*1024*1024/(4*1024) IOPS, or 3,156. So that seems reasonable.
