Hi,
Try transferring large files to an external drive and test again, also remove the SSD and reinsert it to make sure it's seated properly, disable any background programs running in Task manager.

Still transferring at 30mb/s, when I pause/resume it spikes up and goes back down (spike up to 200mb/s). I'm not able to remove the SSD as the laptop is still under warranty and they have a "warranty void if removed sticker". All background programs that can be possibly disbaled. I honestly think reseating the SSD would work, but can't do it until around June. Thanks for your help, I'll update you later.

Hi,
You could also try reinstalling the driver for Storage Controllers in Device manager, yes, if you are under warranty, it's better not to remove the back cover.

Hmm, I don't see the INtel Chipset SATA Controller? Does that come with every laptop? Or is it just the Microsoft one by default and that's it?

This is probably because you don't have Intel Rapid Storage Technology(iRST) installed. You can download iRST from Intel's website.
