I bought a Sandisk Extreme 240 during the Black Friday sales as my first SSD, and after quick formatting it and then updating to the latest r211 firmware that runs TRIM correctly I decided to start doing benchmarks to confirm things were working ok:

I've only run CrystalDiskMark so far, but from what I can see my speeds don't seem to be quite a ways off from what other people are getting from their drives. I'm using a Z68A-G43 (G3) that I believe is using a Marvell controller that could possibly affect speeds, but I didn't think the different would be this significant. Should I run the test again maybe, after it's done garbage collecting and such?
Edit: Hmm, I just noticed that this copy seems to think that I'm doing this from SATA II. That's odd, because I should be connected to a SATA III port, and I'm pretty sure SATA II speeds would be lower than this. Could it be wrong though, perhaps it's a point of reference.
