Question BitLocker Software Encryption has no effect on the Samsung 980 NVMe test results ?

[Rita5]

hi
today I wanted to test the my nvme (samsung 980 500GB Non Pro) performance after formatting and installing version 23H2, Now the tests appear as if BitLocker software encryption does not exist or has no effect like hardware encryption, As the pictures here show:

found this topic for the same disk that I own, explaining the great impact of BitLocker software encryption

Samsung 980 500GB Reduced Performance due to Bitlocker

Good morning, I've enabled bitlocker on my boot ssd, which is a 500GB Samsung 980 (non-pro) and it's performance has dropped substantially. As you can see in the below picture, sequential read has nearly halved and sequential write has taken a hit as well. Has anyone else experienced this...

I am confused, Is there an explanation for this?

maybe updated firmware of the SSD reduced speed loss
better bitlocker implementation in Windows
improved drivers
better motherboard bios

be happy 😁
