Another one I ran into was file and space fragmentation. With certain workloads you can generate an awful lot of fragmentation (in this case I was reading and writing the same massive file set over and over with small changes) and the drive performed appalling afterward a year of this workload. I fixed it by deleting all the files and trimming and replacing all the files but a defragmentation software also works. Its not anywhere near the problem it was with HDDs but its worth looking into at some point because Windows does not perform well when the files are very fragmented regardless of what the theoretical situation is meant to be.
