Question SSD's write speeds fluctuate wildly

[amdy079]

Hi everyone,

My SSD's write speeds keep fluctuating in crystaldiskmark, going anywhere from 150-480 in some tests. Here are the results for three diskmarks:

(I ended the last test early which is why it has a 0mb/s result in the bottom right)

The problem happens even if I restart my PC between tests and have no other programs open.

Should I be worried? What's going on? Thank you very much for any help

You don't list what SSD you have, but I wouldn't be worried. I also would stop benchmarking your SSD. It just adds write cycles that really don't benefit you.

Thank you for the reply! The SSD is an 'Allied 480gb', some sort of a cheap generic brand that came with my pre-built.
