Toshiba Q SSD

Hey,
Question for those that bought the Toshiba Q SSD from NewEgg on Black Friday.
Have any of you guys run AS SSD on it yet?

Installed mine last night. Cloned over system from old HDD with TODO EASUS Backup (I know, I know, but I don't want to reload everything).
Switched SATA controller over to AHCI from IDE.
Ran AS SSD. Sector is aligned at 512k, so everything looks good.

I'd post the screen shot, but I'm at work already.
Seq read was alright. 450 Mb/S
However, write speed was low! ~250 Mb/s

Any thoughts as to why or what to check?
First SSD, so no background in the subject.

The Toshiba Q SSD is like that. They advertise a 500mb/s write speed, but in reality, write speed fluctuates a lot, and the lowest it goes is 200mb/s I think. So there's nothing wrong with your drive. My sister's one does it too. Not noticeable.
