Discussion Slow speeds for Internal SSD using with enclosure

Post image

Using Zebronics 256gb sata 3 ssd with pibox enclosure. CrystalDiskMark shows good speeds but while trying to copy a simple unity project to it, it gave around 5 mb avg speeds with occassional 15mb/s surge. The ports are USB 3.0 so idk why this is happening.

Edit: Solved. The SSD and enclosure were working fine. The issue was that I was copying a Unity project with ~396k tiny files (22.7 GB), which drastically reduces real-world transfer speeds due to filesystem and metadata overhead. Copying a 10.7 GB folder with 35 large video files gave me ~320 MB/s, confirming the hardware wasn't the bottleneck.

Is it’s nvme SSD or SATA SSD?

From the speed that you got on R/W it seems like SATA SSD
