SSD Performace Feels Sluggish

[Simply Tom]

I have a Samsung 840 evo 1TB and I have noticed as of late it seems sluggish. Stuff like opening the file explorer and launching some applications is just not as quick feeling. I have had the drive since Christmas last year and it has about 3.4TB written according to the Magician software. The AS SSD bench marks seem good but I am not really sure. So I was wondering if these speeds are normal and if anyone has any suggestions on fixing the sluggish feel.

If it opens in under 2 seconds, I can't find a reason to complain.

Maybe Rapid mode is causing problems when seeking/loading the data from your memory.

Disable Rapid mode and see if it performs better overall.

I disabled rapid and it lowered the test scored but it does feel snappier. Thank you for the tip.

Yeah.. rapid to me seemed like too much of a gimmick to enable.  I thought those speeds were legit at first haha

Rapid did it to me too.

 

I'd open Firefox and get a very short "non-responding" white shade on the program window, then after 5s it would clear up..

Certain other things would ...."lag to open" so I disabled Rapid mode on my system and it all came good again, responsiveness is back and I love it.

Yeah it's just Samsung trying to be top of  the benchmark charts it seems.
