The drive slows when it’s filling up as the cache starts to shrink. You’d definitely notice it... but hey, what does the internet know?
That was the sole reason I grabbed my 860 EVO at the time as it was cheaper on sale and it also doesn’t suffer from slowdown. It’s a games drive, and I wouldn’t have benefited from faster NVMe protocols. Yes, it’s SATA based, but it ultimately never even hits max speeds for the games I’m playing. I’ve seen it top at 400 MBps reads, which is a far cry from the 560 it can do.
