Question SSD Write speed very slow

[C1rm0ska]

Hi!
My SSD's Write speed is kinda slow and the average response time is insanely high.

340 GB free of 475 GB

This usually happens when I go below 260 GB free storage, but this is happening now always

390 GB free of 475 GB

I deleted Fortnite and now and the speeds are now better

The problem is that I want a few games to be on my SSD and not on my HDD.
I don't understand this, but if I launch the same game on HDD, it is faster if it were on SSD (with slow speeds)

So, new updates..

There was a sticker on the SSD, and when I removed it, the SSD's temperature dropped by 10 degrees Celsius.

However, the performance remains the same.

Did you try another M.2 slot?

Also, 2000 MB/s read and 1000 MB/s write is normal for that SSD.

Yes, I tried the other M.2 slot
Its performance is the same (200-300Mb/s write speed)

I don't know what to do now, it is very slow and it is annoying

Seems replacement is in order. I can only guess that it's performance was impacted by overheating. I don't recall a similar scenario to this one.

Do you have any SSD recommendations?
I don't want to waste money

M.2, atleast 1 TB and faster speeds than this one

The very same drive is my OS drive as well (mine is 2TB in size). Also, it has solid 3500/3300 MB/s read/write speeds.

I have the same issue with this SSD in my work laptop (a HP Elitebook I received in October 2023 - less than 12 months ago).

Performance is terrible, Samsung Magician is reporting 110MB/s write, Passmark is reporting 126MB/s write (read speeds are fine).

If you look at the Passmark reporting for this drive, there is a massive variance in scores, and if you delve further into the individual reports, those with high scores have the expected 1GB/s write, but most others have 1/10th of this write performance

Ultimately we can conclude this is a bad model of drive - it's not just the OP and myself with this issue, but likely most of these drives out there, it's just that when deployed in business laptops (NB: it's an OEM drive), the users don't realise that this is a problem and just bear with it.
