Can't seem to find any information about this issue I'm having so I figures I could try here. I do video editing on the daily and like to move back and forth between my desktop and G15 so I have a Sandisk external ssd I use to go back and forth. On my desktop I connect via the USB-C port and have zero issues. Performance is almost on par as if with an internal ssd. But when I move to my G15 performance is the same except when first "accessing" the drive. It's most noticeable in Premiere Pro where whenever I leave the program to browse the internet or something and come back to Premiere. When I switch back to premiere I always have to wait 10-15 seconds for it to 'access' the drive. After that 10-15 second wait it works perfect until I leave premiere and come back. Another example I have is when I copy something over to the drive without using it for awhile, the progress bar opens, sit's at 0% for 10-15 seconds, then transfers the file at the expected speeds.
For awhile I thought it may be the drive itself, but on my desktop pc it work flawlessly. I can't think of anything other than some hidden power setting that I haven't found yet.
A few things I've tried:
-Uninstalling the USB drivers and reinstalling
-Disabling "allow windows to turn off this device when not in use" via device manager
-Disabling "turn off usb when not in use" in advanced power management
-Disabled power saving in "USB settings"
-Enabling windows to cache buffer on the drive
-Tried via usb A ports
-Tried different cable
-Same issue with different Samsung external ssd
Any help would be amazing!
