This is where benchmarks are usefull - i had gradually become used to this slower speed and the bench highlighted the issue .. due to it benching low i did a bit of hunting and even though SSD-Z said the drive was on SATA III and ACS-2 , it was actually on a 3G port on my motherboard.
I changed it to a 6G port and its about 10+ % up on most of the metrics in SSD-Z with a whopping 64% higher on the 128 kb sequential read (367 MB/sec) vs 224 MB/sec before on the 3G port.
It still seems kinda slow for a vertex 4 512 gb , but it an old install of windows 7 also.
Really low numbers indeed, try AS SSD Benchmark and if it also reports low read/write numbers then I would start panicking.

Hmm just loaded this up on my OCZ Vertex 4 (512gb) and ran the benchmark figures seem kinda low ..
9.87mb/sec on the 512b sequential read.
59.72mb/sec on the 4k sequential read.
224.11 mb/sec on the 128k read.
23.55 mb/sec on the 4k random read
3.8 mb/sec on the random access time.
The IOPs seem nothing to write home about either .. i know this is an older drive but does this seem right ??? windows 7 64 bit and 5 ghz 4820k.
What % of the drive is in use? I have a Vertex 4 and benchmarks become HORRIBLE when the drive is past 60% full.

SSD-z Reports all wrong for my machine.
I recently moved to a new workstation:
Intel NUC i7 system with Intel Iris Graphics
16 GB Ram
Samsung 950 500GB NVMe SSD Drive
Western Digital 1tb Red for storage
Machine runs great and the OS (Win10Pro/64bit) reports that Trim is on, also the driver for Win10 from Samsung is installed in the OS.
SSD-z shows all kinds of wackyness!
No trim
Interface Unknown
SMART not supported
