Had a 512Gb pen drive for a year or so and enjoyed write speeds around the 200Mb/s. Upgraded to a 1Tb model today and write speeds on the new drive are down to around 70-100Mb/s ?. Initially write speed is around the expected 400Mb/s but quickly drops after around 3 seconds or so. I tried transferring a file to my old 512Gb and that's dropped to around 100Mb/s too ??. Source file on a very fast M2 drive (around 5Gb/s) so no problem there. Same speed drop if copying from old to new USB key.
Both keys formatted NTFS 4096 byte allocation (ExFAT 256Kb allocation makes no difference)
USB3 'SS-10' port. Both drives policy 'quick removal' ('better performance' only gives a short boost before again dropping speed). PC restarted, no improvement at all.
What's the game here ??
