I'm using Tm8PS7128G m.2 drive (120gb) as my boot and small/extra storage. When I start to write files to it, it will start extremely fast, around 1gb/s and then it will slow to a crawl, sometimes under 1mb/s and then will have a waving pattern peaking at around 70mb/s and down to about 10mb/s
Now after studying it for a moment, this pattern of increased and decreased performance, seems like what you would expect from a part thermal throttling. I have no way to check the temperature, hwmonitor won't show it.
I can pause or cancel the file copy, wait a few moments, and when I resume it will start fast again, and then crawl back down to 10 or less mb/s
So, is this a bad part, or is it maybe a temperature problem?
(I'm reluctant to call it a temperature problem as I have pretty good airflow and it's cool inside the case- cpu idling at 27c and gpu idling at 28c)
