ssd My Kingston SSD SA400 is kinda slow..

[qtnovr]

Hello !

So I recently saw that my ssd was a lot of times at 100% usage and I have some freezes while playing games (mostly fortnite)

I've made a benchmark using CrystalDiskMark. The numbers looks really low but I don't have the knowledge for that.

Here's my specs:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600

GPU: MSI GTX 1060

SSD: Kingston SSD SA400

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TO

MOBO: GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING

 

If you need more informations, please ask me! Thanks in advance 

 

 

Btw, I have AMD StoreMI

Is the drive near capacity or something?

There's a huge difference with the review sadly

Your sequential numbers are the main difference here.  I would chalk that up to your drive being very full.  Particularly when it comes to writes this is a problem.

 

Also keep in mind the new interface when comparing numbers between versions:

As you see.

 

Also - it's Kingston crap, what do you expect?

Kingston isn't crap. It's a budget SSD. I got an A400 at work and it's also not very fast. Idc because it was $25.

No, especially when their pendrives can be as bad as worst noname (I have one that died after 3rd write) or when they change memory and controller of their infamous V300 (link). I don't remember when I last time saw something signed by Kingston that isn't crap.

I've got this SSD with my GTX 1060, I wasn't really aware about kingston's products so I though it was a good deal.
 

Also, didn't know about the fact that a ssd can be slower when it's full. I'm gonna delete some files then, thank you !

It shouldn't be THAT slower.

 

For example - my OLD SSD Samsung 840 EVO:

93% full. No OP. And results are much better.

And that was not the best Samsung product with know problems.

 

So - Kingston is what it is. I even prefer Adata more than Kingston.

The samsung drive might have more reserved space for swapping files to keep it fast even when it's nearing capacity.
