I used to use the following SSD as my boot drive, but after getting a new NVME boot setup, I figured I could re-purpose the SATA SSD as another storage drive. It is connected in one of the main 4 bays, but gets dismally slow read/write speeds.
My old magnetic drives are faster...
What gives?
Here's the SSD spec:
Available: 220.6 GB (220,597,493,760 bytes)
Capacity: 255.85 GB (255,850,758,144 bytes)
Mount Point: /Volumes/Samsung SSD slower
File System: APFS
Writable: Yes
Ignore Ownership: No
BSD Name: disk4s1
Volume UUID: FA5679F7-23AD-4178-97BA-6CEB61C7372D
Physical Drive:
Device Name: Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB
Media Name: AppleAPFSMedia
Medium Type: SSD
Protocol: SATA
Internal: Yes
Partition Map Type: Unknown
S.M.A.R.T. Status: Verified
Is this normal performance? 26.6mbs?
Granted it reads faster than the spindle magnetic drives, but the write is crazy slow it seems.
My NVMEs are hitting 2500writes and 2700 reads, so I'm good there.
