I am supposed to get 500mb/s, but I barely hit 250. I got trim enabled.
Any ideas?

Curious what does "hdparm -tT /dev/sda" say?
I've not tried through-the-filesystem SSD benchmarks but a lot of the benchmarks out there are not through the filesystem either, it's just raw throughput to the disk.
Also I am a bit biased as I don't own non-Intel SATA3 (6Gb) interfaces yet (I'm using a Z68 and a Z77) and both of these are able to get > 500MB/sec to my SSDs (a Crucial M4-series and an Intel 520-series). _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD

What chipset, and do you have SATA3 (6Gb/s) ports? (also, which Xeon?)
Guessing from your cached read speeds either you have something really configured wrong or your motherboard does not support sata3... SATA2 (3Gb/s) will suspiciously top out at around 250MB/sec ...
hmm... reminded me of this thread https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-925798.html ... _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD

Seems like the drive is bottlenecked by the SATA2. SATA2 is 3Gb/sec, that's 3Gbits/sec or around 300MBytes/sec (I usually use 10:1 ratio to account for serial overhead and ease of calculation, it's probably not THAT bad in real life but it's a rough guess). After this 300MB/sec limit I have to tack on another couple percent to get raw to-disk rates. I found that my ATA66 controllers top out around 50MB/sec and use a similar ratio with the 300MB/sec which gets me the 225-250MB/sec limit, which is about what you're seeing.
Sounds like you need to get SATA3 (6Gb/sec) controllers to realize the full speed of the disk. I don't even see the 500MB/sec through my Z68 board with SATA3 controllers through hdparm, but it clearly shows in gnome-disk-utility... pretty dang fast. _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD
