Last year I built an AM5 PC with x670e board and installed 2x gen4 ssds and 1 gen3 from different OEMs.

Today I installed another gen4 and ran benchmark on all drives. To my surprise all the old ssds read speed is down by 30-60% from last result, write speed is similar to specs. I am unable to figure out what is wrong with them all drives are showing 98-99% of spare.

        None of these drives are problem drives iirc… if anything, how full are the drives percentagewise?

          WD is boot drive and remaining are for storing AAA titles. They gets full but I uninstall games after completing it but most of the time they are filled to 70-80%.

            I’ve noticed that performance starts slowing down when you get near full on these drives sometimes.
