I wanted to turn on BitLocker on my new desktop... just in case, somebody breaks into my place, steal the computer, etc.
So I ran CrystalDiskMark before and after turning on BitLocker. I expected some degradation in performance, but was shocked by what I saw, especially RND4K Q1T1 Read which is all important. The system is a 13900KS with 64GB, Samsung 990 PRO 2TB (with latest firmware, just updated today) in full performance mode, new clean install of Windows 11.
Is this normal?!
On my laptop I have a 980 PRO 2TB in power saving mode with BitLocker enabled, RND4K Q1T1 Read is 70. So getting 56 on my desktop just doesn't make any sense.
BTW, performance went back to normal after I disabled BitLocker.
