This whole SLC caching nonsense is such a scam for large file/dir copies. Who cares how it performs when you are writing 128MB, show me the write performance over the entire size.
As long as the SLC cache is big enough it doesn't really matter (like 50GB) on QLC SSD'S it matters far more as they drop to speeds slower then 15 year old hdds (about 80mb/s) but most of them have SLC cache from 60-150gb depending how much stored data is on the drive and size of drive)
