Slow 4k speeds firecuda drive

[Pkirk618]

I've searched for a solution to this 2TB Firecuda HDD. It writes painfully slow in ATTO/Crystal 4k benchmarks. I first noticed this problem when unzipping a relatively small file on this drive. I also have a 1TB similar spec'd drive and it's equally slow.

I have the most updated rst drivers and the latest BIOS (Gigabyte Z170 gaming MB) installed on intel sata ports. The other ports are equally slow.


Any suggestions? I really don't know what else to do here.

It’s just a normal HDD, what type of performance are you expecting? Also try unzipping from one drive to another drive, this will be much faster.

ok, would 1mb/sec "write/read" @ 4k be normal? Maybe I should have mentioned that initially. I hear what you're saying about drive to another drive though.

And I don't know what to expect but I know I'm not seeing these slow speeds often enough online to think it's normal.
