Vector75 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Good morning,Since a couple of weeks I'm the proud owner of a Hackingtosh. It is sooo much faster than my iMac i7 (mid 2010) but even faster then my office Macbook Pro 15" i7 (2018).So Im happy. That said, I want get the maximum out of my investment. So I did some benchmarks and found out that my NVMe drive was not doing the speeds it was advertised to do. Read is lighting fast but write, the first half a second it's doing 2100Mb/s then it takes a nosedive to around 600Mb/s and sometimes even lower.Is this normal? Or is there something going wrong?Thanks Edited April 16, 2019 by Vector75 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/338376-slow-write-speed-nvme-samsung-970-evo-500gb/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector75 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thanks for your reply. I have passive cooling on the M.2 so the temp is not going above 41˚. But advertising with 2.300MB/s and only getting to 600MB/s that feel as a lot less performance. But if this is normal, still love my machine Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/338376-slow-write-speed-nvme-samsung-970-evo-500gb/#findComment-2670435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector75 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Hahahah thanks, Recap, I've should have gotten the pro version. It was the same price, but I read there where problems using it with an Hackintosh. No matter, thanks for your feedback!
