Have you ever tried copying more than 4 GB and checked how well it buffers?

On my drive? It buffers fine until the enclosure overheats. Then it disconnects until it cools down, leaving Windows in a frozen file transfer state until I physically unplug the drive and cause a failed transfer.

Are there communities where people have better knowledge of harddrives and ssds? I don't mean this in a bad way but I think this board focuses more on the average consumer.

Hopefully you haven't abandoned this thread. I found out that if your SSD is using TCL NAND, then writing large amounts of data at once will start off fine, but performance will degrade after a certain point: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2998497/storage/tlc-nand-ssds-the-crippling-problem-storage-makers-dont-advertise.html

 

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted
