For 3 years I've used my Glyph AtomRAID SSD for music production with Ableton Live sample libraries and DAW files, but lately it's been locking up frequently. I did some troubleshooting with a friend's ssd to make sure it was the cable, my computer, or a bad port, but I'm almost certain it's just the drive at this point. I use the usb-c cable it came with plugged into one of my two thunderbolt ports.
I posted a video showing it's performance in Blackmagic Speed Test. It starts out as expected, and then quickly plummets slower and slower until the red progress bar basically isn't moving at all. Maybe the cache size on the glyph is trash, or maybe it's just time to get a new hd after 3 years? Any help or opinions at all would be very helpful!
I'm on an iMac 2019 27" running Mojave OS 10.14.6
EDIT: I should also have mentioned that I backed up my drive and reformatted it as APFS, then put the backup back on, then performed the speed test.
