Is this speed normal for 500 GB WD Blue 3d Nand?

Hi everyone…
Today I purchased a 500GB WD Blue 3d Nand sata SSD for my old desktop.My system specs are as follows:
Processor: i3@3.2GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-WW.
RAM: 4GB DDR3@1333MHz
Existing HDD: Western Digital 1TB.
Os: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Currently my sata controller is set to AHCI in Bios.I am getting comparatively slow speed for CrystalDiskMark.Please take a look at the results if they are Ok or not??

Another thing,the SSD is connected to SATA 3Gb/s interface(as the mobo doesn’t have a 6Gb/s interface)!!

come on guys!!!26 hits & still no reply…Please say something!
