how is it that my USB 3.0 speeds capped at 5 gbps is faster than sata 3 port (capped at 6 gbps)..
The samsung drive itself is capable of 540 MB/s according to reviews. I myself do not have a SATA 3 device, to test it right now, otherwise id have done it myself.
You should investigate it a bit further, though

OP
got your drive yet? i got mine yesterday. moved most my frequent played games to the drive. no more staring at loading screen for 30~40seconds
YES I got the drive yesterday. Yesterday I just rejoiced the whole night with my new beloved drive.
Today I am in the process to install fresh OSes on it. Will post detailed benchmark results later. For now, here is the CrystalDiskMark benchmark (its connected via Sata 6 GB/s port).

any tips on how to troubleshoot?
OP
Samsung Magician doesn't say it's connected to SATA 3.0 port. It only says in terms of speed. On my Samsung Magician it says the interface it's connected to is SATA 6.0 Gb/s.
What exactly your magician says?
Check if in the Drive Summary, the magician reports ATA standard as "ATA8-ACS".

samsung magician says "your drive is connected to sata 6.0gb/s (SATA3) port and should show maximum performance. ata standard is ata8-acs
OP
At this point, you can only consider replacing the actual SATA cable with some other cable.
its a brand new cable that i'd got when i bought my sata drive..
Disable any AV/security suite after disconnecting from internet & then try.

AHCI mode is deactivated in Samsung Magician - [Solved] - Storage

What socket 775 motherboard supports trim
AHCI by default is disabled in bios on older mobos(when IDE ports & IDE hard disks were the standard),check in your bios settings under hard disk mode & there should be an option to change it to AHCI from "auto/legacy/IDE".
However you can not do this now because Win 7 & above do not load AHCI driver if it was not there when the OS was first installed.If bios hdd mode is changed to AHCI after installation of windows then on next start the windows will give BSOD/crash at boot.You have to do a registry tweak to enable win 7/8 to boot correctly after enabling AHCI in BIOS:
Switch from IDE to AHCI after installing Windows 7 or Windows 8 - Winaero

Thank you.
I followed the instruction and found that registry value is already set to "0" (I opted for Option two)
I rebooted and found that BIOS too set "Configure SATA as AHCI". I am attaching a snapshot.
I don't remember if I have already tried this before or it was this way when I installed OS (Win 8.1)
Then that's fine.In fact the speeds you are getting are in line with the expected speeds using sata 2.0 3gbps port.To fully utilize internal SSD speeds one must use sata 3.0 6gbps port.

out of the 4 SATA3ports on my motherboard, 2were internal INTEL controlled ports and 2 were ASMEDIA 1061 controlled. the slower speed was when connected to the ASMEDIA ports. it was fine after i switched it to the other SATA3 port.
