Hey guys,
recently got a new rig and decided to go with a PCIe gen 4 Firecuda 520 500GB as a windows drive cause it was on sale.
I am using it on an ASUS x570 TUF on the second slot because that slot comes with a heatsink.
So i started benchmarking the thing with CrystalDiskMark and the Samsung benchmark. It showed normal read speeds but the write speed caps out at around 500mb/s in both tests.
Usually for the 500 GB version of this SSD the write speed should be at least 2,5 GB/s, so 500 MB/s makes me wonder what could be wrong.
Anyone have an idea? Would be appreciated.
Also, please excuse errors, I'm from Germany.
