 - Heat. Check with `smartctl -x`; the SSD should be below 50C so it does not throttle.
 - TRIM not being allowed. This can happen with some [hardware RAID controllers](https://gist.github.com/yorickdowne/fd36009c19fdbee0337bffc0d5ad8284), as well as on macOS with [non-Apple SSDs](https://www.lifewire.com/enable-trim-for-ssd-in-os-x-yosemite-2260789)
