I don't understand what's happening here. It's a brand new SK Hynix Gold P31 1TB NVMe Gen3 M.2 about 5% full. Long runs with a lot of data are what I was wanting for building Android. This kind of sucks if it falls off like that. Is this normal ? Any way to maintain faster write rate ?

I apologize for the double attachment, it said zero and came out double.

Heat throttling?

Not from what I can see, 64C was the highest it got and don't see any thermal management. I'm still a bit new to this but cache shouldn't have anything to do with write rate or so it would seem. Or maybe it does, I don't know. Second test was worse than first.

Check out toms hardware review. In a nutshell it looks like it takes awhile for the cache to recover in some cases due to its design. Otherwise a good drive.
