An update on my V2. I left it idling with no data on it after a secure erase. I then ran a series of iometer based benchmarks. The advantage of the benchmark is that I can incrementally increase the size of the test file from 1GB to 12GB.
I ran each benchmark run sequentially, starting with 0 fill for the first run. All following runs were done with non compressible.
In total 30GB of non compressible data & 1GB of 0 fill.
After this barrage I let Anvil's Endurance app run. Within 2.91 hours or 383.17Gb the drive was throttled down to 6.71MB/s.
So, it seems that even a small amount of idle time will enable performance to get back, but if you sustain the writes you end up back being throttled.
Good news in a way. If I leave the drive to idle for a week or so and don't write excessively I should not experience any slowdowns.
That's the end of the V2 in this thread
