My SSD Corsair Force GS 128GB is doing only 470MB/s of reading and writing, but it was suposed to do more than 550MB/s. Why this could be happening ?

The SSD is completely empty.

The higher numbers are likely a result of data compression and the Sandforce chipset. 470MB/s seems normal for real world (I suppose technically this isn't 'real world' either, but the long short is the drive appears to be working normally).
