But I think you could break every Samsung drive conceivably, under the right conditions, so I'll try anyway. I doubt anyone other than me has encountered this since they'd be yanking them out of Dells and Lenovos overnight if this had happened to too many other people.

It's clearly not some kind of throttling, as reads are more affected than writes, though the writes are pretty bad too.

As such, I believe it to be a firmware bug, something that could only be fixed with a re flash. Possibly not even a firmware update could stop it.
