NVMe SSD Speed

Other people running the same setting do not have this problem. I think you are thinking about partition size blocks?

Maybe when I formatted the drive through windows it selected the wrong size blocks? but it did not give the option if that is the case?

Manufacturer sets the Block size for optimal transfer speeds.

That is about 50% slower than normal. Download HWinfo64 and check the SSD temps when testing, they do throttle when they get too hot.

Read speed is fine but write speed is for crap.
Apparently PCIEX 3 drives don't get hot enough to throttle.
 
Most likely it has a crappy small slc cache, which usually craps out at 500mb/s write after the initial few seconds burst of "up to" speeds.

Don't think so benchmark is short not like 20GB files are being written, like I said worked fine previously with benchmarks. Thinking is a windows 11 problem. Checkdd everything hardware must be a software problem.
 
Well reinstalled windows again, same results only thing I can think of now is is age or a driver causing the issue. Seeing the nvme is going for almost 5 years I'll say probably its age. Will check if the new nvme is running correctly on Monday.

There is a tool somewhere which can tell you how many hours of life your ssd or hard disk has. It should also be on the manufacturer website of you search for the serial number. It's super important information to have so the manufactures try to make it easy to get this info.

HDDStatus - Tool to check hard disk status, health and reliability

HDDStatus is a tool that checks the status of your hard disks, including temperature. It applies advanced statistical models to predict failures and suggest proper actions, like hard disk replacement and full backup.

Still supports magnetic platter HDDs, but sadly does not support the newer SSDs.

Striping, dangerous form of RAID imo. Raid 0 is good for speeds, but if something gets effed on 1 disk, you left in the deep end on the other disk as well.

I doubt whether it even makes a speed difference on NVMe. Good for traditional magnetic platter drives.
