Corsair Force MP510 M2 - slow write speed

father-ted · 7 Nov 2022 at 17:16

Hi,

Had this from new (December 2019), 240gb with OS (Windows 11).
Write speed has dropped suddenly to around 300mb (should be up to 3,000mb).
Read speed ok as advertised.

Any ideas?
Done some Google searches and seems quite a few people have had the same issue (firmware 12.3).
Could it be W11 related / anything I can try - or should I RMA it?

I also have a 1tb version of the same (for games), and that is working fine.

Thanks

It is only around 40% full, yes I have left the system for a while and still the same

Highest write speed I have managed is 1000mb, can be anything between that and as low as 300.
Will RMA if I have to (still some warranty remaining), however that would be a ballache as it is my OS drive.

Corsair are sending me a new drive to clone my OS over to, then return the faulty drive.
What free software is best to use to do this please?
Expect I can remove my other m2 (with games on), to clone to the new drive, then swap them? (without losing any data)
