Just wondering if this is a FW issue or an atto issue or other?? It carries through my KC3000 1TB & 2TB and Corsair 4TB drives.

atto 4.01.0f1 SKC3000S1024GEIFK31.7 oct29 2024.jpg

SKC3000S1024GEIFK31.6 oct29 2024 fresh trim atto 4.00.0f2.jpg

Just curious is anyone else gets those anomalies with phison E18 drives?? @W1zzard

I'm not using ATTO in my testing, any chance your SLC cache is full at that time?

Hmmmm

not sure. Tested on a fresh start up and after I did a trim on the drive.

90% free

edit - just wondering if anyone else can test if they have an nvme with a Phison E18 controller??

Looks more like something is affecting the Atto benchmark?
I don't see any abnormalities with mine. Performance comparable to new condition. No KC3000 but Phison E18 +112 layer BICS5.

Thanks

MS nvme driver? (that's what I'm using, and amd chipset driver)

I've just run ATTO on my KINGSTON SKC3000S1024G and the results are almost the same as those in K2mix's chart, but reads are a bit faster at 8.65MB/s.

I have see inconsistent results with some drives in ATTO, but have put it down to cache hits or controller latency at some test file sizes and stopped worrying about it.

It seems that drives with a Phison E18 controller have issues with write speed degradation over time. I believe Kingston has a firmware update that fixes the issue, not sure what other manufacturers have an updated firmware that fixes the issue. If you've had these drives for a while, that's probably why.

You mean READ speed degradation... Yes, it has.
I believe Kingston has a firmware update that fixes the issue, not sure what other manufacturers have an updated firmware that fixes the issue.
Have already read (some user experiences) it didn't really helped much.
If you've had
It would not affect benchmarks with fresh written data...
