I wonder if you hit the drive hard enough, so that the cache gets filled, does the performance degrade by that same magnitude?

In my use. Yes. I didn’t realize this was the reason until I saw this thread, and now I’ve tested it. Luckily, I don’t do massive data transfers nor do I do any large data work. When I got my M1 Mac Mini, however, I did and had immediate buyer’s remorse. I thought that I/O must be terrible on this thing, and I felt cheated. After the initial stand-up, I wasn’t so angry. For most tasks, it’s faster than my old TR4 1950X.
