I'm using hibernate instead of sleep because it doesn't consume any power (as far as I know). Regarding my setup, many times CPU is fully loaded, I see when I'm launching big apps that the load is delayed somehow. Even when I'm browsing, CPU frequently goes up to 100%. Windows pagefile is...

Look at these measurements below, they are from a cheap ADATA Swordfish 500GB. Aren't these waaay better than my drive (uploaded abone in the initial post)? I think they are. And please, don't tell me these are just synthetic benchmarks or similar, because they have real life effect. A second...

Thanks for all your answers. I'm adding just this: I found NVMe me drives on second hand market but they are sealed, unused. Of course there are many items that are used (more or less) but some of these have 0 hours and 0 TB transferred. Oh, my system boots in about 2 and a half minutes. I...
