Hi, I'm working with an Asus Tuf B450m Pro gaming rig. It has 16GB RAM, an AMD R5 1400 processor, and I'm using a WD Green M.2 SSD with 240GB and a Crucial BX500 480GB SATA SSD. The Crystal Disk Benchmark shows read speeds are solid, but write speeds drop below 10MBps during both sequential and random writes. Sometimes it starts at under 10MBps and stays there. This is unusual compared to my previous motherboard, which always maintained good SSD performance. What might be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It looks like the SSD is running slower or the SLAC cache is being used. I’ll try applying a forced trim to the drives and check if that improves performance.

I also tried it, but the logs often start under 10MBps and change a lot. In my last motherboard A320 it never showed this issue.

In my earlier motherboard a320m, there was no slowdown or speed drop below 10MBps when it reached 60% usage. Copying a large file over 4GB caused speed to dip below 10MBps for about 7 to 10 seconds. I've only tried single ISO and compressed zip files.
