What does FIO say on your Samsung 830 SSD, 4k random reads?
Last time I checked online benchmarks Samsung 830 had very good 4k 
random reads, but it's difficult to find online benchmarks for 
incompressible data (which fio rightly uses btw)

multithreded test:
vi fiotest_mt.fio
         [random-read]
         rw=randread
         numjobs=20
         thread
         iodepth=10
         group_reporting
         blocksize=4k
         size=512m
         directory=/mnt/<yourmountpoint>
         end_fsync=1
         runtime=10

and single threaded (more important here):
vi fiotest_st.fio
         [random-read]
         rw=randread
         numjobs=1
         thread
         iodepth=1
         group_reporting
         blocksize=4k
         size=4g
         directory=/mnt/<yourmountpoint>
         end_fsync=1
         runtime=10
