It's a Samsung 860 EVO SSD 500GB - got it for $72 which seemed like a good price.
ahahah lol, i think its funny that people still can't tell they are talking bout Mb or MB.
most speed testing softwares (ie black magic) output unit is in MB. (big B)
however transfer speed rating in cables/network are shown in Mb. (little b)
so just do the conversion . 8Mb = MB
SATA II max limit is 3Gb/s = 375MB/s...however with cable/hardware losses 300 MB/s is probably real life maximum
OP is getting write is 206 MB/s and read is 265 MB/s
therefore you are GOOD, getting very close to the real life maximum speed for sata II. EASY BREEZY
people say the bigger the hard drive, the faster the write/read speed. so the 1TB evo, would probably get abit closer to that 300 MB/s limit
hope this helps

That is a pretty good deal. You might want to try
AmorphousDiskMark, which I find gives more accurate speed tests over Blackmagic. The speeds on the first line are what Blackmagic measures. The other three are smaller file sizes that give a more accurate speed test for everyday computing tasks.
thats interesting, thank you for the infor.
