My Kingston A400 (480GB) SSD has a really low benchmark using UserBenchmark compared to an HDD [closed]

I just built my PC, and run a benchmark on UserBenchmark. I never had an SSD before, but I connected it, formatted it and it works. This is what userbenchmark said:
If you compare the write speeds they are just slightly above the HDD, so something is not right?
And they say to ensure it is connected to SATA 3.0 with SATA 3.0 cable. I connected it with the cables that came with my motherboard so this should be fine?
I am using an Kingston A400 (480GB) SSD and a Western Digital Blue (1TB, 2012) on an MSI X470-GAMING-PLUS motherboard.
Does anybody know what can I do to improve the benchmark?

I don't know why the benchmark says use a SATA 3 cable. It's the SATA controller that matters. Check your motherboard's manual/website to see what class of SATA controller you have.
Check Kingston's website for any driver and firmware updates for your drive. Apply them if there are.
Additionally, check your BIOS. Make sure your drive is set to AHCI mode and not legacy or IDE mode.
