Update - 31/10 10:30 (CET): We're currently looking into a potential firmware issue with the T500. Apparently, some others hadreported issues with post-SLC performance, mentioning speeds can drop to 300MB/s in sustained writes. Our (two) drives didn't show any issues in the last few weeks we've had them, and part of testing is copying two sets of 500GB to the SSD, which it handled perfectly, three runs in a row. Similarly, PC Mark 10 Consistency pushes close to 30TB through the drive, and it did all those runs perfectly as well. SSDs with poor base level (once pushed through dram/slc cache) performance always show issues there.
But, following up on the reports, we are able to produce some issues with the T500 if we run the tests more often, sometimes causing it to crash almost completely (dropping to ~10-30MB/s even). Seeing this only happening sometimes does suggest some sort of firmware issue rather than some actual component issue, but we'll look into it more and have asked Crucial for a response as well.
