Hello!

I have a good old OCZ Vertex 2 60 GB with around 17 TB writes to date. Last time I wrote it full with large files, one week later I deleted these files, but copying into it became really slow. It starts with 30 minute for a 1 MB file, then it goes up to 10s of hours and never finishes. The memory chips/controllers are not hot at all.

I don't need data, just curious what's the background issue here.

Is this normal for 10+ year old ssds? Is it age, or reached its end of life due to TBW?

Thanks!

Amazing it still works. Run a secure erase to speed it up again and any firmware updates to make it as stable as possible. No matter what, don't store anything irreplaceable on it.

Examine the SMART report with a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo.

Thanks for the tips! I did a slow format on it and I could fill it again to the brim with great speed. Then I erased everything and it slowed down the same. Did another format, now it works. Strange :).
