Unusual SSD performance issues...
Unusual SSD performance issues...
Hello, I faced a similar issue on my PC. Data writes sometimes land on 0mo/s and remain there for a while, even though the SSD usage stays at full. It also slows down performance during tasks like file copying. This is quite frustrating. What might be causing this? Could my SSD be faulty? Thanks for your help. P.S.: I have a recording of the problem here: https://youtu.be/JLR5G3Ao8kM
It seems I might be wrong; upon reflection, the problem likely isn't due to the absence of DRAM. There could be another cause, even though this device lacks DRAM.
The drive has plenty of space. You frequently write and remove a significant amount of data from it.
The drive had roughly 600GB remaining. It also doesn’t mean I frequently save much on it—just my Steam games and Creative Cloud apps. Still, I’ve reinstalled Windows multiple times after upgrading, but each time I encounter strange Windows glitches. I shared the problem on the forum, and someone suggested it might be a bad drive... Link: BIOS update and another Windows install resolved the issues. Now I’m experiencing this while writing data on the NVMe.
Yes, I can test the TRIM feature on your system with the native tool and check its behavior. Please ensure CrystalDiskInfo is available for download and installation. Once installed, run a quick scan to verify the results and capture the output screenshot for reference. Keep an eye on the serial number as it will appear in the program.
Download and set up CrystalDiskMark for benchmarking. Choose an 8GiB file size to take advantage of the drive's fast read/write speeds. Use the standard profile settings.
