Toasted Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Is Write Cache enabled on the drive? Try rerunning the test without background processes/applications doing something in the background e.g. copying files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Rick Posted July 11, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 11, 2017 Is Write Cache enabled on the drive? Try rerunning the test without background processes/applications doing something in the background e.g. copying files. Also what are the temps like? I'd suggest downloading Corsair Link or the Corsair SSD Toolbox to view the temperature of the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathieuG89 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Write Cache is enabled. Temperature is around 70 on average browsing the web and doing some light tasks. Jumps to 80-82 during the benchmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 According to the review below, the 80+ is when the drive starts throttling. http://www.legitreviews.com/corsair-force-mp500-480gb-m-2-nvme-ssd-review_189274/3 Depending on the location of the drive, it will be best to have some airflow over it.
