Hello guys, I build a new PC with threadripper cpu and good hardwares but the problem is my 500 Gig Samsung 850 evo is really slow! my average speed most time is just 60-70mb only for a second it reaches to 300-400mb and then back to 60 or even a lot more lower speed!

Is that normal?

Also I should mention when I test it with Samsung software it says speed is around 575 and more but when I copy a file average speed is 60-70mb.
 
Solution
test the drive using crystal disk benchmark. and see the performance. also make sure that your SSD has at least 20% free space , the SSD gets slower when it is full

Thanks but why should I rely on benchmark test when my actual speed in action is low?

because sometimes reading and writing tiny files takes longer than sequential big files. testing using the benchmark will give you thr sequential speed and the random speed.
 


Are you copying from an hdd to the ssd.
