This is a strange one. On a fresh install of Ubuntu 23.10 (and Desbian 12, Pop os) I'm getting 40MB/s with ssh-benchmark snap, while on my old laptop with a cheap SATA SSD I'm getting 90MB/s. Any ideas on how to tackle this issue?

EDIT: On manjaro it's around 4500MB/s

Thanks :)

My hardware is Ryzen 7500F, Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 5000E 2TB, 32GB DDR5, RTX 3090.

  • Have you updated UEFI & SSD firmware to latest available? Some settings that still apply: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1284302/is-it-possible-to-make-ubuntu-20-04-boot-faster – oldfred Dec 29 '23 at 14:52
  • @oldfred UEFI is up to date, how can I update the SSD firmware? There is no info on gigabytes website. Also, I believe the issue comes from Ubuntu because on Manjaro the SSD works as expected. – Adam Katav Dec 29 '23 at 15:29
  • Found this right away. https://www.gigabyte.com/SSD/AORUS-Gen4-5000E-SSD-2TB/support#support-dl-utility Do not know if they have an easy way for Linux users. My Samsung NVMe drives have separate ISO like live installer for updates. – oldfred Dec 29 '23 at 19:02
  • Are you booting under power or booting under battery when you get those readings? – darth_epoxy Dec 30 '23 at 08:07

Basically the issue is with the barrier flag for ext4 under Debian based distros
