I will try to post the info as detailed as possible.
Started around 350MB/s which I thought was low to begin with and then almost halfway through shot down to 30MB/s and has been sitting there.
I did my research before buying and I know its a QLC SSD, but after this write, I will only be using it to copy to other computers.
I knew I wouldn't hit top speeds writing to the drive but I didn't think it would be moving slower than my USB flash drives...
Copying 575GB FROM MY PC: Crucial P3 1TB 3D NAND Flash PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe M.2 Internal SSD Read Speed: Up to 3,500MBps / Write Speed: Up to 3,000MBps
FROM PORT: USB 3.1 Gen 1 (up to 5Gbps) USB-C Port in motherboard in back of computer
WITH CABLE: Type-C to Type-C USB cable (10Gb/s)
TO: Crucial X8 External SSD USB 3.2 (Gen 2 Type-C) Read Speed Up to 1,050MBps / Write Speed Up to 1,000MBps
Edit: Now I'm copying the same 575GB from that External drive to a laptop and getting similar results.
Laptop has a Thunderbolt 3 port and it's copying to a 1TB Sata SSD with a 500MB/s read / 450MB/s write spec.
Was around 500MB/s for about 60% of the way and then dropped down to around 5-7MB/s that occasionally will jump up to 175ish for a few seconds and then back down.
Thanks in advance.
