SF drives also intentionally reduce write speeds (which also impacts read speeds) but they do it via throttling.

SF drives cannot sustain performance levels without burning up the NAND, despite the compression advantage, hence the drives are life time throttled.

Intel drives provide consistent write speeds throughout the life of the product and regardless of xfer size. SF drives can't do this.

Yes you might get short term performance boosts before throttling kicks in, but once it has kicked in you are stuffed.
