Yo, my SSD is performing way worse than it should and therefore I am writing this post.
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Sapphire RX 5700 8GB
MOBO: MSI X570 Gaming Plus
PSU: Super Flower Leadex lll 650w
RAM: Kingston HyperX Predator 2x8 (3200mhz)
SSD: Kingston A400 480GB
222GB of 448GB is used.
Briefly, the drive seems to climb up to 100% usage when downloading patches etc, which deteriorates the writing speeds. Other than that and the overall "meh"-performance, it benchmarks horribly on UBM. My system is generally performing "way above expectations", but the SSD is definitely not. I very well know that the drive itself is absolutely not one of the better ones, but people with identical builds benchmark a ton better than I do.
I'm not a guru when it comes down to SSDs and drives in general, so I'm seeking assistance from you more enlightened people. Please hit me up with possible workarounds and fixes that I could try
IMPORTANT: When reflecting my SSD's benchmark on set averages, my write speeds and read speeds are identical to them, but when it gets to "Mixed" mine is 10 mb/s and the average speed is 292 mb/s? What on earth is going on here? SusWrite is also only 100 mb/s.
Additional information:
CrystalDiskInfo says SSD state is GOOD.
Kingston SSD Manager: Wear Indicator 97%, status healthy.
When the SSD-usage is spiking, temps still stay around 40ish Celsius.
TRIM is enabled.
Write caching is enabled.
Kingston Firmware for the drive is up to date.
Running the latest non-beta BIOS (7C37vA7, 01/2020).
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot in advance
