Hello,
Just over the last weekend I've been performing the laborious task of reinstalling Windows onto a new storage device - giddy with anticipation, I finished installing Windows 10 on my brand new Samsung 960EVO, excited to see just how fast it was, but when I loaded into Windows, all I had happening was stuttering, and a lot of it. Voice communications over Discord were laggy, Chrome took forever to start, and just browsing Explorer was a difficulty.
I've attempted numerous fixes that I've found around the place, such as turning off CSM in the BIOS, installing, and reinstalling, the Samsung NVMe drivers, and checking the performance monitor to see if there was a culprit, but nothing has worked - AS SSD showed a normal 2500MB/s and 1700MB/s sequential read/write, but with shockingly slow random 4k/4k 64 thread read/write times.
Am I just stuck with a not-great drive, or would I have some other problem such as compatibility?
I understand this is quite open ended, so any questions you could provide that I have answers to would help you to help me. Also, I'm new to the forum so please let me know if I have done something incorrectly, or not conforming to rules and such.
