[SOLVED] Slow system drive

[kwoosh]

I've noticed my pc has been slowing down lately and decided to run a benchmark only to find that my system drive has been performing extremely poorly. It says to plug it into a SATA 3.0 port, but I'm not sure if I can do this since it's an m.2. Is there any way I can fix its performance without having to buy a whole new drive because that's just a hassle?

Did you put the sata m.2 on the first m.2 slot?

Did you put the sata m.2 on the first m.2 slot?

If the first one is the top one, then yes

If the first one is the top one, then yes

Try to update to the latest bios and install amd chipset driver

If it's an m.2 NVME or SATA compatible slot, and you end up replacing it, certainly an NVME (of almost any brand) is preferable...
