![]() ![]() + Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter D -ReTrim -Verbose Optimize-Volume : The volume optimization operation requested is not supported by the hardware backing the volume.Īctivity ID: ![]() PS C:\Windows\system32> Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter D -ReTrim -Verbose Attempting to manually TRIM doesn't seem to help either. Some quick Googling doesn't turn up much in regard to getting TRIM working over USB with few relevant results and one mention of a "USB attached SCSI" protocol that I assume isn't supported by the controller they're using. ![]() After running across a forum post on SanDisk's forums of a "SanDisk Guru" ranting about how it's the user's fault for formatting the drive from how it was originally formatted in the factory, I've run some quick benchmarks with the drive formatted under various file system configurations (attached below).ĬrystalDiskInfo says the drive is TRIM capable and HD Sentinel says it is enabled, but running TRIM check seems to show that TRIM is not working. SanDisk's support page still doesn't even acknowledge that the Extreme Pro USB drives even exist. I've attempted to look into it again recently. Now three years old, the drive seems to still be excessively finicky. I received a response back saying that per my screenshots, I was getting the "optimum speed" from the drive which was good enough for them to close my ticket. Even if this was expected behavior for the drive. I asked support if I should expect to see TRIM working (it wasn't clear if it was), if there were any firmware updates I could perform, if there was a special way to format it, or anything I was doing incorrectly that would cause these slow speeds. At times, I was even seeing poor speeds from the drive with it completely empty. I found that completely formatting the drive would improve both up to 340 MB/s and 310 MB/s respectively but filling up the drive even 20% would cause speeds to quickly drop way back down. I initially saw my drive easily hit the advertised speeds of 400+ MB/s reads and 300+ MB/s writes pretty continually.Īfter 10 months of light use, I opened a ticket with SanDisk support in September 2018 reporting diminished read speeds of 273 MB/s and heavily diminished write speeds at 53MB/s. I've been seeing poor performance on my SanDisk Extreme Pro 256GB USB drive since its initial purchase in November 2017. ![]()
