My first SSD.

I just bought a Samsung 840 and installed a clean copy of windows on it and my usual programs.
It's my first SSD so I don't know if I have to change some settings inside windows or something.

Also i benched it with CrystalDisk and it scored 431Mb/s read 254Mb/s write. Is that normal cause Samsung says that it does 540 read. I know you never get what is on the box but hey, that's 110Mb/s slower than they say.

Windows did that for me. I think it did everything because defragmentation is also disabled.

It's pretty normal for the OS drive to be a little slower than the 'rated' specs I find. I have two 256gb 840 pros, one with OS and one with 'stuff' and software. They come up with different scores usually with the 'stuff' drive being marginally faster.

Cant beat a good SSD.

Oh, didn't know that about ssd's. Doesn't mind it though I still find it blazingly fast.

YES! As an upgrade from my ancient spinpoint I'm just astonished.
I love it!
