It says i have achi mode activated and trim status enabled but give me an option to turn on rapid mode.

that's interesting, i'm having the same issue with mine, at first when i bought it everything was fine but after BIOS updates (no clue if that's the culprit) it suddenly degraded to be capped out at around 330mb, but when i restart it starts out fine achieving 530mb but if i do the test again without restarting it will be capped at 330mb again, what's your system? full details

@exodate

Yeah I have an 8700K as well, with a Z370-A motherboard, pretty weird.. i've seen lots of people reporting this issue about the 860 and some said that after replacing the SSD everything is back to normal, so maybe the SSD itself is defective, but it's up to you if you want to RMA or not.

and you have a Z390 board, so your BIOS is already updated for Spectre/Meltdown stuff, i think that's the issue but i have no idea really, there's not enough information.

ok, but should i enable rapid mode?

According to tests Rapid Mode is pretty useless, it only just makes your SSD "seem" fast in benchmarks, but in reality it barely helps, if at all.

just RMA the SSD and see how it goes, report back if you do that.

I know this is a few weeks ago about my ssd having slow read speeds. So today i went into bios> advanced storage settings and saw sata device type it was set as hdd as default for some reason so i changed it to ssd and got the expect read and write speeds. Is this what it should be in the bios or not much people know about this?

did you repeat the test multiple times without restarting? because restarting generally fixes the problem temporarily.

Also I have no idea what that is, that is the stupidest setting i have ever seen :|| but hey if it works it works, congratz man :)
