Hi
I just purchased Microsoft Surface Pro 5 Core i5 2.60GHz 8GB Ram 256GB SSD Windows 10 PRO, this was used from Ebay from a seller who sells lots of refurbished laptops/Surface Pro etc, The general condition is very good for its age, getting around 4-5 hours watching movies and performance feels fast for basic web browsing using Chrome and watching movies/Streaming TV etc, the main reason I bought the Pro 5 as I travel abit woith work.
On the forum where I saw the deal for the Pro 5, people are running CrystalDiskMark to check the SSD performance when they get them, they are getting averages of 1500MB/s Read and 300MB/s Write on mainly Samsung SSD Drives, I just ran the CrystalDiskMark and I get around 650MB/s Read and 230MB/s Write, I have looked on a few forums and they have said the issue is around the Toshiba Drive and the NVMe drivers, some people on the forum are saying it could be a failing drive. As I said, I paid a good price and I am happy with the performance from what I have used so far, I copied over aload of movies and TV programmes and was getting around 150MB/s from the USB write to Drive C.
I have 30 days to return for a refund, has anyone had a Pro 5 with the Toshiba SSD with these speeds? I am just concerned if it is a failing drive it could die in a few months and I will struggle to return it, so its send back now or keep it!

Thanks for any advice.
