    Just installed a crucial m4 in my g51vx-x1a with fresh win7 intel rst 10.8 and updated drivers.
    Are these speeds normal?
    It seems that my 4k is low.

    Seems normal for an Intel series 4 or 5 chipset and a 128GB M4.

    Try rolling back to MS generic AHCI driver yet keep IRST services running - see if it gives you a better performance.
