Toshiba XG3 NVMe SSD Linux Performance

The Toshiba XG3 was pretty slow with FS-Mark.

The same goes for DBench.

The Toshiba XG3 THNSN5128GPU7 is certainly not the most performant NVMe M.2 SSD I've come across, but on the plus side it's one of the less expensive NVMe SSDs. While I was able to find the XG3 128GB M.2 model for just under $60 USD, its normal retail price is about $80 USD on Amazon. The retail price is still decent for an NVMe M.2 SSD, but if you can find the XG3 again on sale, it's certainly more of a bargain that depending upon your use-case can make it worthwhile if having the absolute best performance isn't critical.
