MP600 2 TB Slow Performance

Then, rather than leaving this value on "Auto," can you set it to 1600MHz? Then save and reboot?

Hi Kevin,

I just enabled these settings in the Bios as you've described (although it was already enabled by setting High Frequency Support to Level 1 - see here: https://www.overclock.net/forum/28023210-post4.html)

Results are the same:

Here are resultant system settings as reported by Ryzen Master:

So, final post in this thread. Malwarebytes Premium turned out to be the culprit. When I exit the software before testing my SSD speeds I get literally double the (sustained) performance as when it's running. Might be worth trying to disable whatever anti-virus/anti-malware you're using just to see if that's the cause.

With Malwarebyes:

Without Malwarebytes:

The difference is massive... almost 50% of the drives performance was lost because of Malwarebytes.

I don't have that installed.

Even worse results on UserBenchmark... Kevin do you have any updates at all on what might be going on - any additional info I could provide? Defective drive?

I too, am experiencing similar issues with my mp600. I will be watching this forum closely

Do you have icue or steam running? Try closing those and pause any running anti-virus. They may impact user benchmark scores.

I have shut down/disabled every single non-essential software, as well as even went as far as disabling services... Still having issues. I even went to performance monitor to check disk activity, and nothing outside of ordinary system log writes. This is really disappointing to see considering the sales pitch of corsair (see Newegg video regarding mp600) and the cost of this drive... Please advise further.

Same. Drive is going back this weekend if there's no solution.

Yeah, unfortunately my return window is gone so I'm stuck with this. Corsair products are usually pretty solid, but this is my first experience with corsair ssds, and will be my last if this is not resolved. Which is a shame, because many people seek my guidance on hardware.

Do you have any options in your BIOS/UEFI to set M.2 PCIe as Gen3 vs. Gen4 and possibly 2x vs 4x mode?

Your readings are quite normal and it's kinda wow to me! Just don't see where is rthe problem :-/

[Seegee911]

I have specifically set the m.2 slot from auto to gen4 thinking this may have an influence, as gen 3 will max out around 3.5gb/s sequential.

This is the problem:

If it's not too much trouble, hang tight, I'm going to see if I can get some more information.

I have a bit of a tangential question for those with these large MP600's, I hope you don't mind since you have one of these large performance NVMe drives and your waiting for Corsair to hopefully comeback with some solution.

I've been wondering if adjustments to the infinity fabric speed impact the PCIe performance to the NVMe especially for these larger performance drives? If your comfortable with overclocking, and have some time, could you decouple your infinity fabric and ramp it up to 1800MHz, retest your SSD speeds, and report your results back here?

I have the 1Tb model. My ram run at 3600@cl16 with Infinity Fabric at 1800MHz and the SSD write speed is not what it should be. I also tried JEDEC standard timings with low IF and it doesn't help.
