Hello,

Last year I bought a Samsung 970 EVO 500GB, but now it seems that it is running way slower than it should be. Does anybody know why and how to fix this?

Motherboard: MSI Z370 A-Pro
RAM: 2x 8GB DDR4 2400MHz
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB
HDD: Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM
GPU: MSI Radeon RX480 Gaming X 8G
Case: Sharkoon TG5 RGB
PSU: Cooler Master b500 v.2

How full is the drive? An actual 500GB drive is only 465GB. Take into account that you should leave 20% free so the SSD can work properly, that leaves you 420GB of space left.

The drive has 280GB free.
