When the disk fills, it's going to slow down.  In the real world
of video editing, we have to leave some free space.  I don't know
if Black Magic's benchmark tool can be set to do this, but try
leaving 25% of the total capacity free.  Or, though it's not an
option here, use larger capacity drives, heh.

With this disk, enabling TRIM is a good idea.  For example -
