Your SSD isn’t always full speed—here’s why
If you’ve just got your hands on a new NVMe SSD, the first thing you'll want to do is put its speed to the test. You might be a bit disappointed when you realize that it falls short of the specified read and write speeds. When you go on to install big games or edit 4K video, you might see the speeds go even lower (at a certain point). Don't worry, though— this doesn't mean you got scammed (well, in most cases, as long as the drive is brand new). SSD slowdowns under heavy workloads are normal (though the threshold varies with each brand and model).
