Low Disk Performance

[thegamer1907]

I am unsure what is causing this, realized recently when my games were loading very slow, and even after installing the game to the SSD, there is hardly change in load time which was very weird so i did a simple read/write bench in hdtune and the results were quite shocking.
My rig setup as in my profile ---->
Using windows 10 currently, upgraded last year.
I remembered when i was still using windows 7, the disk r/w wasn't this low, the SSD r/w speeds were at least above 100 MB/S.
Could the upgrade to W10 be the culprit? Even so, i cant pinpoint the exact cause.

HDtune bench results are as follows:

Corsair SSD:

Hitachi 2TB HDD:

Also did bench in crystalmark, the results are equally bad.

Other info:
TRIM is enabled, AHCI enabled in BIOs, SSD firmware updated to latest.
All drives connected to SATA 3 ports.
Appreciate any help regarding this matter and TIA.

ur SSD now much space left? and beside that have u on pagefile for ur SSD? how long have you been using it?

v high access times for both ssd & hdd too...
since happen after os upgrade, could it be driver related - eg storage driver?

 

[thegamer1907]

I have updated the storage drivers. No page file on ssd. Using it for about 2 years. Tested with 70% full

so previously when u install win 7 was it migrated to SSD or fresh install?

and for windows 10 u upgrade and not fresh install?

 

[thegamer1907]

Ssd was fresh install with w7. Upgraded to w10. Not fresh copy of w10.

Which firmware are using for your force GT?

 

[thegamer1907]

1.3.3 initially, upgraded to 5.05 but still the same

Anyway just checking is ur antivirus installed on your SSD?

next could be this issues : http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2079345/low-speed-corsair-force-120gb.html

lastly i think probably the SSD life degrading? since u have been using it for 2 years or more.

No Antivirus, only windows defender. I also don't have trucrypt installed . even if it is degrading, I think the performance hit is too drastic? Also my other drives performance are also very low. I am contemplating fresh windows install tonight.

Maybe can try swapping sata ports. Ur mobo using 1 controller for all the ports?

Sorry on mobile can't see ur setup

using Asrock b85 killer. i believe its one controller. i am trying to change out the sata cables right now

 

[tigerwoods]

fresh install win10 might fix the problem

 

[thegamer1907]

Changed Sata cables still the same. Guess I have to resort to fresh install of Windows..

 

[thegamer1907]

just reinstalled windows, seems like performance still the same.
All my three drives (1 SSD, 2 HDD) have read/write around 20mb/s for the hdd, SSD around 40MB/s..
Im not sure what is wrong here.. unlikely to be disk old problem.. the Hitachi HDD was only bought a year plus ago.
could it be motherboard SATA controller failure?

well have u tried all ur 4 ports of SATA 3?

 

[Allanlee82]

try with just the SSD, reset bios to factory setting but make sure it is achi

 

[thegamer1907]

tried that earlier. same result.
will try resetting bios

 

[thegamer1907]

no idea what is going on anymore.

Resetted bios, changed power cable, changed SSD sata 3 port to SATA 2 port, still the same performance.
Is it really the drive?
My last resort is to get a new drive and try..

well for that part SATA3 port to SATA2 port is a downgrade though.

if u have backup ur data b4 i rather u format and send for RMA for your SSD.
