When running the Disk Mark benchmark, task manager normally shows a very close reading of what the test scores will be. I have a Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVME drive. My scores are much lower than expected compared to other 970 EVO Plus NVME drives. Three of the tests revealed that my computer is using 25% usage (I have 4 drives) and the power usage column shows “very high” during the test except for the 4KQD1 test. When that test runs, task manager shows a high MB/s at first then it drops off to a much lower rate (about 1/2) and the power usage never gets above moderate. My question is why? Task manager is suggesting that the 4KQD1 test is being throttled for some reason. Another issue is that my scores are not very consistent, they vary a lot. I might get a Disk Mark score of 23,500 one time and 20 minutes later it will test at 19,500.
That’s quite a variation. Any suggestions concerning either of these issues and possible solutions would be welcomed.
