I have a 2015 Macbook Pro Retina 13" with 512gb ssd. When I bought my laptop I did a Blackmagic speedtest on the pre installed 10.10.2 Yosemite, and It said the ssd read and write about 1300 mb/s. Then I did a clean/factory reset (Recovery>Disk Utility>Macintosh HD erase)then Reinstall Os X. When my macbook booted up in to the 10.10.4 Yosemite I run again the Blackmagic speedtest and I saw, that the ssd is slower on the oem ssd!!( write: 600mb/s read:1300mb/s). Why? What can I do to fix my ssd write speed?

Please help me!!(Sorry for my english grammar:))

Change testing chunk size in Blackmagic to 5GB & rerun.

Do a command-r boot to recovery and from there launch Disk Utility and to a "repair disk" on the drive. Toward the end you will see a message that unused space has been trimmed. What that does is run the TRIM command on unused blocks on the drive and can help write speeds. When that is done, quit Disk Utility and restart.

Thank you for your support, I appriciate it.
Should I run only Disc Utility from Recovery or can I run from the booted up Yosemite too (does it matter?)
