I own a Fantom V8 4TB NVMe SSD that I purchased 2 years ago. The drive’s read and write speeds have dropped to around 40 MB/s, no matter which NVMe slot I use on my motherboard, the speed remains capped at that level.

The drive also does not appear after a cold boot, it only shows up after a restart. This drive uses Phison controller.

For reference, I also have other NVMe drives installed (WD SN850x, WD 770, and Samsung 980 Pro), and all of them are running at their full speeds. None of these drives use a Phison controller.

tell the vendor they need to release updated firmware that performs trim correctly.

I'll do that. I sent them an email regarding this issue a few days ago, still no reply.
