    Reduced random read/write speeds in 970evo 250gb


    Hello everyone,
    Ive had this nagging issue with my 970evo 250gb lately where the speeds (albeit in crystaldiskmark- a synthetic bench....) are not what they were when it was new. I am aware that drives behavior may change as they fill, but take a look below. Note the percentage full of the drive. Far right was one I took day 1 after initial OS install and moving some basic files. Middle was after several weeks. And far left was today.

    Im noticing some inconsistencies with the random read/writes. It is installed in m.2 slot one on my board (asus maximus x code- z370) and is the only NVME in the system. Magician confirms is pcie 3.0 x 4 mode. I have the latest firmware, and latest samsung drivers. What could I be overlooking? Im seeing others get speeds much closer to me "new drive" speeds with a percentage utilized much closer to my current 60-70%. I tried running in safe mode to see if it was maybe due to an overactive AV program or something, but speeds were identical. Sometimes if I run the benches repeatedly a couple times the scores will go up several hundred mb/s in crystal disk, but they all seem quite far off from the earlier lower % runs.

    Read and write speed

    Hi, I hope you're doing good today.

    When you're downloading from Steam you're using your internet bandwidth, that's different than your hard drive write and read speed.

    Regards.

    Insanely slow HDD random read/write


    I'm playing tech support for a relative, and her (ASUS K53E) laptop SATA HDD has insanely slow random read/write. Sequential r/w is around 74 MB/s, which seems fine, but random is around 1 MB/s. Hard disk health is fine according to S.M.A.R.T. Win10 1709 Pro x64. Pentium B960; HM65 Express chipset using the Microsoft Standard SATA AHCI Controller driver. Windows update doesn't have any driver updates; Intel driver tool returns nothing; Asus website has no Windows 10 drivers. I'm at a loss, any suggestions?
