S3700 - 200gb HDTUNE

[T_Minus]

What are people getting for the Benchmark Read score/screenshot?

I had one that was Min/Max in the mid/upper 400s, and then I benched another and it had a maximum of 520MB/s with Minimum around the same as the other.

Both are 200gb, both have <15TB written each.

Just plopped a 2nd S3500 120gb in there to test, 1st one came back really good/to spec 2nd one avged/maxed/min at 135 MB/s

Drive is new, 0 data was written.

Intel SSD Tool Box = ALL OK.

Anyone ever run into this? I haven't had any problems with any of my cheaper Intels, but these 2 are acting up.

Ran more tests on the S3500 120gb, looks to def. max out at 135MB/s no matter what test or benchmark I run.

From what I can see of my history this looks like it was purchased NIB, and has a warranty utnil FEB 2020, so its a fresh drive.

Now to track down which retailer I got it from and see if that's easier than an Intel swap-out/RMA.
