The EXCERIA PRO 2TB drive from KIOXIA, even if it does not often hit the rated performance numbers, it is quite speedy overall and should be fine for most applications/games. When stressed, the temperatures did climb up to about 74 degrees Celsius and at that moment the SLC cache got depleted too and we noted gradual drops in performance, to a minimum of about 500MB/s.
To begin the second stage of the tests, we needed to fill the drive over 50% and we have done that by writing continuously to the drive to monitor its behavior. The IDLE temperature we have recorded was 41 degrees Celsius:
The transfer speed remained optimal after writing about 20GB to the drive:
The conditions remained similar even after writing about 205GB:
The temperature has raised at this moment to about 61 degrees Celsius:
The first performance dip we have observed after 220GB of data written:
The temperature continued to raise but remained at optimal levels:
The speed remained the same, between 950MB/s and 1.1GB/s for most of the time:
We have recorded a maximum temperature of 74 degrees Celsius:
In the last part of the test, the speed varied between 500 and 600MB/s:
With the SLC cache filled, we noted that the drive temperature dropped again a bit to around 67 degrees Celsius, but then climbed back up to 73 degrees Celsius:
