Question SSD Write speed drops to 30MB/s after download

Write-Caching is enabled by default Win10 for system drive as far as i can tell. I have tested new Crucial MX500 500GB (has 512MB DRAM) over SATA with Windows Write-caching disabled and i get same low write speeds as DRAM-less Lexar. P.S. I am not worried too much about data loss on SSD...

Question SSD Write speed drops to 30MB/s after download

Interesting why when i connect over SATA i see noticeable difference when write caching disabled especially on RND4K Write drops down to 7 MB/s. However when i use USB 3.0 interface it remains same with either write caching on or off?

Does Win10 TIMS all data, it took under 10 seconds to run this trim. Is there third party tool to make thorough TRIM?

Question SSD Write speed drops to 30MB/s after download

I am more of a visual learned, could you draw a diagram for me if that's okay? I did not experience any slowdowns until write speed capped at 30MB/s after SSD got close to being 40% full.

Question SSD Write speed drops to 30MB/s after download

Bought Crucial MX500 500GB it had 500MB DRAM so far works full speed, however with the LEXAR i am still amazed what is going on. Merged all partitions and made SSD alignment using AOMEI Partition manager then run the test.

Question SSD Write speed drops to 30MB/s after download

but DRAM buffer is only good for the size of the dram e.g. DRAM 512MB would not help with file that is bigger 1024MB and i would still experience same slowdown?

I have 240GB Lexar NQ100 SATA SSD and it has still 130GB free, however write speed dropped down to 30MB/s from original 500MB/s. Its also partitioned into two 40GB and 183GB partitions. If i delete about 20 GB of space write speed goes back to normal, what causing this?
