ssd issues
I have a new Asus NX500J with a Samsung PCIe SSD with jessie (8.2)
installed and I'm having problems with disc speed. It is supposed to
have up to (write: 930 MB/s read: 1170 MB/s), but I'm seeing performance
that is horrible.
Here is iostat info while doing an aptitude update:

I have read the ssd optimization wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/SSDOptimization
I have tried some of the suggestions, but I believe this issue is beyond
those suggestions.
To do any trivial thing it takes a long time. I believe it it related
to the known ssd issues with certain brands including samsung. However
it's not mentioned here:

What tests should I do to narrow down the problem? Where should I
report it?
Thank you
