Anvil, I'm waiting for the tool from Comp. When I get it I will restart the endurance test, but I will start a new thread.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you will join me in the new thread. It would be great if you could do some testing on a retail V3, or duplicate what I did on a V2 to see if the same thing occurs.

If I could start over I would have checked I/O performance for various sized xfers to quantify the I/O burst throttling effect.

It would be interesting to establish if MAX IO means this particular method of throttling is disabled when compared to a standard version of the V3.

After that is established it would then be interesting to see how long/ how much has to be written on a V3 before throttling kicks in. Does capacity result in different outcomes? i.e. are smaller sized drives throttled more than larger capacity equivalents?
