It may be a drive firmware bug. Note that this article: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/samsung-t5-portable-ssd,5163-3.html mentions a similar performance problems with older versions of the T5 that do not have TRIM support. It is mentioned that newer versions have TRIM support though. So it may be worthwhile to check if a firmware update is available for your drive. > > Best regards > > Sven Hugi > > Am Fr., 21.
