Hello,

I have a Choetech JMS583 based m.2 pcie enclosure (USB3.1 gen 2 10gbps) with a 1TB silicon power P34A80 which should be over-spec'd for the enclosure.

This is hooked up to a Dell XPS 15 9570 x4 thunderbolt 3 port allowing for the 10gbps with an Anker certified 40gbps T3 cable. So there should be no bottlenecks.

Crystaldiskmark shows adequate sequential read speeds in line with what I expect, at +800MB/s but write speed is about 1/4 of that - write is slower in random too by about the same factor. I should expect an JMS583 based enclosure to give read and write about the same with the cap being the 10gbps USB3.1 gen 2 connection.

I have TRIM and write-caching enabled. Windows write-caching buffer flashing does not seem to make a difference.

Would anyone know why this may be the case and what am I missing? Thank you.

update: I kept thinking its something to do with the drive, but I tested it out on an XPS 12 with only USB 3.1 gen 1 and maxed out the connection on read and write so something on the XPS 15 is limiting the write speed. All the drivers and bios are up to date on the XPS 15 though.
