AS SSD examination for my SSD XPS15 9550
I have sent back my lap for repair at the beginning of this year as the processing speed collapsed and it turned out it was SSD quality issue. recently I feel the speed is not as good as I expect and sometimes little issue occurs like screen flickering, system crashing(one thing bothers me greatly is when I close and reopen the lid without the cable plugged in, I cannot login as the screen stays black with power button light on. I set sleep when close lid ）. And when I play PUBG with my friend the fps keeps around 30, my friends told me based on my configuration it shouldn't be like that. I know it may not be related to SSD but I sent my lap back twice because of quality issue, I fear such things happens again. so I run AS SSD test for my SSD but I cannot understand it clearly, so please help me see if there is something not good with my SSD based on the outcome
thanks!

Hi Simon,
On your system can you Private Message me your Service Tag (please do not post this in the thread)?
Once I have that I will need to look into this further, but just from the looks of it the write speeds look way off (as well as the overall score, I have seen non-NVME drives ((so SATA-3 SSD) get in the (100-300+ MB/s for 4k and 4k-64Thrd) .
Do you know how full the drive is and what version of Windows is on your system? And was anything else running (programs etc.) while this benchmark was in use? A good way to check is to look at the Task Manager and see what the Disk Use is at (by sorting it there) before running AS SSD to make sure it is getting max ability to the benchmark. AS SSD is a good program (my endorsement, not on behalf of Dell :) ) and should give you a decent idea of speed for the drive. Lastly have you updated the BIOS, chipset and video drivers on the system? I know there were some decent updates for video drivers recently.
On a side note, I am very familiar with PUBG (I play it)... and unfortunately since it is in Early Access it can still have some hiccups on certain configs, do you know what Graphics Card and Processor is in the XPS 15? And have you tried lowering settings? I know on my desktop with SLI I have to lower a few things to keep 60+ FPS, and unfortunately even then I have to drop SLI.... the game is great but is still in development (especially with the optimization they're looking at eventually doing). What I am getting at is I would look at other fully released games to compare benchmarks against similar systems since PUBG is early access. I have personally seen performance vary a lot more than a fully released game (until the recent update I saw a lot of reports of people crashing before the jump/load-in, I personally never got that one though but did see it on a similar configured systems).
Best regards,
Brad

I see that you are getting the same painfully slow random write speeds that I get for the NVMe drive on my new laptop.
