[SOLVED] SSD Performing at 12th percentile.

[ju1c3]

I tested my ssd on userbenchmark and it said it was performing way below the normal percentile, It is a SP A55 SSD so It is very old and cheap but I saw something in another ssd post about the offset not being divisible by 4096. Could this possibly be the case for mine too? Here are the AS SSD Benchmark Results.

How can I tell if my drive is aligned?


Type “msinfo32” into a search box and hit Enter. Then go Components >Storage > Disks and look for your SSD and check the Partition Starting Offset. It needs to be divisible by 4096; otherwise the SSD block is not alignment correct.

Also what does divisible mean? like doesnt come out to a decimal? am I dividing the partition starting offset by 4096?

okay sorry im dumb yes it is divisible by 4096

check ALL partitions.

Your drive may have 3 or 4.

You need the "partition starting offset". Not any other number.

Yes, no decimals.

above is a review of your drive.

It was a budget level drive when introduced and has no DRAM, so the performance you see may be totally normal.
