You are absolutely correct here. The OP needs to get rid of the BX500 SSD and get a Crucial MX500 SSD. I would never trust a BX500 SSD since it has an extremely high rate of failure (sudden failure with no warnings....my organization had many fail right out of the box).
Try enabling Trim,
FYI, won't make any difference for the BX500 SSD. All it takes to get this SSD to slow down is writing to it non-stop for a couple of minutes (I don't recall how long to get it to 15MB/s, but it was not very long)...after writing non-stop for about 40 seconds (you will get about 500MB/s) the SSD's write cache is filled so the writes then go to the super slow TLC or QLC NAND where write speeds drop dramatically & quickly. Once this SSD gets to this performance level it will take hours (don't know how many actually) before the SSD's maintenance routines can recover. I thought I had permanently bricked my test BX500 SSD the first time I ran a test on it that I reset it to factory defaults where it recovered it speeds (I was too impatient to wait for it to recover naturally....never tried to time how long it would take to recover, but I have seem some users report it takes hours or perhaps a day to recover on its own). Most likely the SSD is also overheating which will cause it to throttle itself as well compounding the problem.
The BX500 series SSD is the first Crucial product I do not trust & will never use....I really don't understand Crucial keeping this product around to tarnish Crucial's good name & reputation since most times the price difference with the MX500 series is not that much.
