Hey everyone!

The write speed wont exceed 1000MB/s no matter what!
I've updated the to the latest firmware

Hi,

Same problem here! Read speed is okay but write speed is not.

Drive temperature is 44C while testing.

Firmware: EGFM11.1

What's going on?

Hi,

I tried with default ram timings and Default Optimized settings in bios. It doesn't help.

Finally I was able to fix it!
I think somehow updating the firmware is the reason and the only way fix it was by using Corsair ssd toolbox and do Secure Wipe

DO NOT waste your time with corsair support THEY ARE SO DUMP one of them asked me about my computer spec and he was like let me look into it i think its not compatible and the other one insisted it's the motherboard

My MP600 came with the latest fimware and it was running great just after the Windows installation. Fast forward one or two weeks and now the write speed are not what they should be. I don't think a Secure Wipe is an acceptable solution and I expect Corsair to release a new firmware or give us an explanation at least.

Out of curiosity, what, if any, antivirus software are you all using?

Windows 10 default antivirus and firewall

Hm, okay. I was wondering if it was Sophos or something. I've personally had experiences where it would scan outside of the designated window and bog down systems.

Have you (and anyone else in here) installed the most up to date chipset drivers?

Yes chipset drivers 1.8.19.0915.

Hi Matriq, there's a new firmware for the MP600 through our SSD toolbox. However, you'll need to update the toolbox to 1.2.5.7 for this to be applied. Can you try this, then run benchmarks again and share your results? Thank you!

Hi, i have the same problem with MP600 1TB
Firmware: EGFM11.1

Read speed is ok but write speed is 1000 mb/s.
I have done several bench in the past days and the write speed was ok around 4300 mb/s , now for the second time in 2 weeks without any change in my configuration the speed is gone back to 1000 mb/s. I tryed to install also a clean Windows 10 on another ssd ad then bench the MP600 as secondary drive but nothing changed , write speed capped between 900-1000 mb/s.
I want to try to update the firmware of the MP600 but i can't find the ssd toolbox 1.2.5.7 version , on the download page i can find only 1.2.5.5 that i have installed.

System specs
AMD 3800x
Asus ROG x570 Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) with latest bios and chipset drivers
G.Skilll Tridentz RGB 16gb 3600 Mhz

Please help! Thank you

I updated SSD Toobox to 1.2.5.7 but no new firmware available.

I clicked the "i" button in SSD Toolbox and use the "Check for updates" feature.
