Last year I built an AM5 PC with x670e board and installed 2x gen4 ssds and 1 gen3 from different OEMs.

Today I installed another gen4 and ran benchmark on all drives. To my surprise all the old ssds read speed is down by 30-60% from last result, write speed is similar to specs. I am unable to figure out what is wrong with them all drives are showing 98-99% of spare.

WD is boot drive and remaining are for storing AAA titles. They gets full but I uninstall games after completing it but most of the time they are filled to 70-80%.

I've noticed that performance starts slowing down when you get near full on these drives sometimes.
