Intermittent Write Performance

In a series of tests tonight running Windows 10 on a Dell Precision 7720, I saw very mixed, not-so-great write results. I ran my tests with both the USB 3.1 port and the (single) USB-C/Thunderbolt port on the system; neither played a role. With large files (6GB CentOS ISO), write speeds peaked at around 60MB/s, but over 4 continuous transfers, the average write speed was only 355KB/s. In comparison, a competitor's drive with similar specs averages about 27 MB/s for the same transfer over the same USB 3.1/USB-C ports. => Depending on your use case, this ROKHY drive is unlikely to be used. Reads were stable for such a device and incredibly fast, averaging 240MB/s, which is actually faster than the spec listed in the product description. Explain the writing behavior I saw. The disc looks and feels high quality but I only received it today so can't comment on durability - and given the writing performance I might as well send it back. To be recommended with great caution.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance
