I have a Silicon Power 2TB SSD in an ADATA ED600 enclosure. It is only 50% full. It has been working perfectly for about 3 months (although I don't regularly transfer a TON on it). Yesterday, it starting acting up. Whenever I try to write a large file to it, it'll zoom along at top speeds until it hits 3GB. Then it just halts to a crawl. When this happens, it makes my computer fairly useless. I can't open programs, I can barely browse the internet, I have to hold the power button just to restart, etc...
I have enabled write caching, optimized the drive (TRIM), updated all drivers, tried high performance mode, tried different USB cable, tried different enclosure, tried different USB port, tried different files, tried different drives the files are coming from, verified it is 4K aligned, and verified AHCI mode is enabled. Nothing is helping and none of my other external drives are having this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!
