The drive writes at over 12.6 GB/s for over 31 seconds with a cache of about 400 GB. Intel Core i9-12900K, Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero, drive prefilled to 50% and tested as a secondary device. The drive then holds about 2.0 GB/s in a mixed state of TLC writes plus copying data out of the cache for about 13 minutes before a steady 2.96 GB/s. The first state after the cache is that mixed state, which the review does not call TLC mode, so measured_post_cache_write_mbs is not stored
