Did you try setting the BIOS to "highest performance" mode even while on battery? BTW: update the BIOS of the T440s if you haven't done so already, AFAIK there are some nasties in the outdated microcode and right now the only way to get the fixed microcode for these processors is through a BIOS update. Latest BIOS for the T440s is from 2016-04-27. > And why do the units differ (MB/sec versus MB/s) ? For the typical "no good reason at all". The proper SI units for these are actually "MiB/s", I think: AFAIK, the kernel is measuring base-2 throughput, not base-10 throughput... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
