SSD drive very slow

[DonL]

I'm getting exceptionally slow write and read times on my SSD drive. I've provided my system info on this particular drive. Did I miss something on the install??

Um... according to your "SSD's" specs that's not an SSD (solid state device), it's a Western Digital 7200 rpm hard drive (spinner); is this April 1st?

Ok I did mess that up. I meant to write SATA drive and wrote SSD, but the fact that it's so slow is still an issue. The slowness being the issue. I should get much faster than 10Mb per second on this thing. I am new to the hackintosh world and obviously not always paying attention to details, like the type of drive, but I do understand the differences and did get my build up and running. Anyone have any ideas for me to check. Could this be a BIOS setting? Should I try another connection?

Anyone have any ideas for me to check.

See page 17 of your motherboard manual.

I am looking at this and I need more help. Please imagine I'm an ignorant fool who knows little to nothing about computers and only accidentally managed to get this hackintosh to work. Please and thanks.
