NVMe speeds in Winstat?

I'm running a P3 Plus and was checking for issues as file transfers randomly drop to 0 bytes per second for a few seconds then pick up again so though I might have an issue.

According to Winstat my speeds are only 2700 Read but oddly 5900 write?
Is winstat accurate or am I better using another tool?

CrystalDiskMark, ATTO, Anvil Storage Utilities, AS SSD, are most of the widely used disk speed tests

Speeds look to be the wrong way around - but at the end of the day, the P3 Plus uses QLC flash so you are never going to get great speeds, especially over sustain write work loads e.g. lots of big file transfers.

Thanks, I'll try one of those.
It did seem odd that write is higher than advertised but read much lower. I heard there was a windows 11 bug as well but not sure if that's fixed?

Can't seem to find anything wrong with the drive though. Wonder if the 0 bytes could be an O/S issue in some way?
