Question Slow write speed of an SSD

[Popikaify]

Im using samsung 860 evo,after benchmarked it shows read : 562 write : 396 which is very low for that ssd.Why did it happen ?

Run to run variance... read looks fine though. The SSD might be writing something at the same time you're doing the benchmarks, that might be the reason.

How full is the drive?

How full is the drive?

106/500 gb used

106/500 gb used

Is this a change from when the drive was brand new?
What motherboard and CPU ?

Those numbers are fine.

What benchmark did you use? And what settings did you use with that?

Though really, write speeds aren't really anything to stress over since most of the use cases for storage is reading data off of.

Write cache enabled?

Write cache is enabled.Early benchmarks worked fine (read 560,write 520) h81M vg4 r3.0 gtx 1050,i5 4690

I had something similar happpen to my 860. The write speed dropped to 330. The culprit was userbenchmark which for some reason caused the write speed to go down. It may may been to do with Samsung's tubrowrite but once powered down the drive reverted back to its correct benchmarks speeds.

Moral of the story:
Don't use userbenchmark to test your drives.

Too right, not using that thing again. One quick search on the net revealed many unhappy users
