I ran both: https://gist.github.com/nlothian/e22ee30c6ccb8d473058d9e0864...

Read is a lot (LOT) faster than writes. Enough to make me thing I might have something misconfigurated there(?), although I'm not familiar enough with this benchmark to know for sure.

It's not unusual for write performance to be staggeringly worse than read on SSDs. It all depends how the controller is setup and how the manufacturer wants it to benchmark. Most sites emphasize read performance so the companies tune for it.
