well this is the odd thing i can send things to the ssd its fast but if im sending things from the ssd to an hdd its slow and the SSD is samsung QVO 870

This can happen when dealing with HDD, as a HDD can not reach anywhere near peak max 600MBps, they can range upwards of 200MBps, only way HDD can reach max peak is by doing raid mode with other HDD, but never do raid with SSD, and HDD because SSD has to drop performance to match with HDD as it slowest factor that why never do raid with HDD with SSD, if ever do raid only do same type of drive to avoid issues.

To do a test on just the drive itself which want to do test on just SSD you use CrystalDiskMark run the test, then post in imagur, or upload as artwork on steam, then share URL link to it.

https://crystalmark.info/en/download/

For CrystalDiskInfo you use that to tell you if there any problems with the drive, it would show you problem areas in red.

Knockoffs consisting of a shell with a cheap chip stuck inside with a blob of epoxy have been showing up even in relatively reputable online stores over the last couple years.

so samsung is scamming customers ????

Samsung is not doing such, it's the scammers themselves on ebay, wish, amazon, and so on you have to watch out for as what they do is either buy bulk shells of SSD, and put in knockoffs ssd into them, or using a board with SD cards on the adapter on it, where has fake storage size, and fake performance to try trick people thinking they have real one, only way to test it is by using software that fills the drive, and test performance by large read and writes that goes beyond what SD card, or knockoff SSD can do as you know right away where things freeze, fail, or performance drop to nearly 99% basically.

If you ever gotten a fake product, you have to file it with support if it been within 30 days from site you bought it from, and they should refund, or send you a new one to resolve the problem, but note that credit card company only protect from fruad upto 120 days so best not to wait to last day of anything no idea why anyone wait until last day but makes things simpler, and easier by not waiting on it.

Anyways do test the SSD from link I provided using CrystalDiskMark.

Just to make sure in this order.
1st drop down set to 5, 2nd drop down is set to 1GiB, 3rd drop down is set to your SSD, and last one is set to MB/s correct?

For read that god awful, like that REALLY bad, for writes that actually normal performance of SSD, but that doesn't explain why read so low, so make sure that you have NOTHING running in background, no video running, no downloading, no updates of anything, and do test again just to make sure read is correct, if it is ramining that slow then there a major problem. I tell you what to do next after your 2nd test on this.

[sapphireglaceon]

and yes those were the settings of the first test

[sapphireglaceon]

test 2 as follows
read MB/s
0.63
2.83
1.36
1.15
write MB/s
490.70
490.59
194.71
98.69

Run CrystalDiskInfo check the health status of the SSD what percentage is it at, as well temp. Do you have anything mark as red? Also what the Samsung 870 QVO did you get like how big the storage does it claim to be?

Then I want you to open Command console by pressing windows key + R to open run command type in cmd in the command console want you to enter each one at a time, you will need to restart PC for things to take affect.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow

Once done this be last test, run CrystalDiskMark once more do the same test, if it gives same low read speeds, contact amazon and get a replacement, or money back if this was within last 30 days you bought it from amazon, or have protection plan with amazon that can go longer.

ok well what does red mean and its an 8TB but the drive reads 7.27TB

Means there a problem, this problem can vary what it label as such as bad section, for SSD that be really bad thing and pray it just error that can be corrected using command console that try to fixes whatever the error it may be, but if it can't be fixed it means that cells died, or faulty SSD, or if lucky just bad faulty sata cable you can replace easily for $2, but if not then means you got a faulty SSD.

Yes it in the same link above from the same site.

Alright well do the CMD commands I gave you, this will do error check on your Windows, and 2nd one does over all error check if any error found it fixes that error, and you need to restart PC in order for fixes to take effect, then do the test one last time just to see if issue resolve, this is mainly to do software testing, the only thing can do hardware side is by changing sata cable that it.

[sapphireglaceon]

the read speeds are still the same
