Hey, I Got a problem with my ssd. I put a test on crystaldiskmark, and it puts over 500mb/s. And it boots up pretty fast too! But when I try to copy a user file locally from 1 folder to another, drive speed drops to 120mb/s! Like what could cause it happen? The model is Gigabyte UD Pro 512GB.
Thanks for the help
 
What you described is normal. When you read from the drive AND write to the SAME drive, the speed will drop dramatically regardless of drive type, since the controller on the disk has to handle both read and write requests. Nothing wrong here.

Good to know. Thank you for the clarification!
