Hello,
this issue is not strictly Garuda related, when it happened the first time I was running Manjaro (but with btrfs and most Garuda tweaks enabled, such as zram, etc...) So, a few months ago, my ssd performance (SSD Crucial 1To SATA III - CT1000BX500SSD1 - BX500) suddenly dropped (wrting speed was divided by 40) and resulted in an almost unusable system. I re-formatted the ssd and reinstalled the system (Garuda replacing Manjaro), but no luck. I then had the idea to flash my motherboard (MSI B550M-A Pro), and it worked, I recovered a fast and responsive PC, ssd writing speed back to normal. But since then, this problem has happened 3 or 4 times, the last time this morning. So I re-flashed my mobo (with the same firmware...), and I'm back to normal. But one has to admit this is not a long term solution (I have to re-tweak my bios every time), and I am just writing this message to ask if anyone would have an idea about this weird situtation.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Be sure the firmware in your SSD is up to date, and also run some smartmon tests on the drive.
Test some different kernels as well.
You also need to include your garuda-inxi output on your help request if you wish to receive further assistance.
Edit:
You might also want to save/backup your bios configuration. That way, you could try resetting your bios to the factory default, rather than flashing your bios repeatedly. Flashing your bios is inherently risky, so it's best to minimize the amount of times you have to do this. Perhaps simply resetting the bios will be enough to correct your speed issue, (without resorting to flashing the bios). Either way, saving your bios configuration and then restoring it saves a lot of time and effort reconfiguring your bios.
Are you dual booting Windows?
Is it possible this issue occurs in Linux after booting into Windows?

See my above edit, and please answer the questions there. Please report on the results of all suggestions put to you.
Thanks for the suggestion to save the bios config, I'll have a look at this.
