My storage is a mess. In comparison, if the wiring loom on my car was in the same condition as my storage set up then my car could go up in smoke anytime.

The Windows 11 update from August 2023 will rectify performance issues with NVMe SSDs that began in March 2023. Prior to this correction, users experienced a decline in device speed of over 50%, even ... Windows 11 August 2023 Update Addresses NVMe SSD Performance Concerns
I am glad they are addressing this, but Windows 11 seems to be effecting gaming experiences for me too ever since that update, but it's not exactly harmful as I dual boot Linux, they work fine there.

well no preformance on my win 11/NVme SSD 🙁 Still loading times are rly bad/slow

how many I/O performance fixes do we need to reach at least Windows 10 stability? XD I/O performance improvements (thanks to I/O pipeline refactoring removing legacy parts) was one of the very few real improvements of Windows 11 (the other would be WDDM 3.x that so far doesn't bring any real benefits for gaming)... so when?

Hopefully, not so much 🙂 as W11 is more a W10.5 If you stay, as company does, in the stable version (mean major upgrade minus 1), W11 is even more stable than W10, and it is faster if you have removed the "security, fun and productive" things that M$ have put in it (search "remove bloatware in W11" lol)... And i don't even talk about copilot and the new outlook... a real drama lol As always let early updater have the problem 🙂

Agreed. looks like a bad un. Copilot AI tbh makes me feel sick in my stomach. Thats because of the miss us of the word AI. AI out of context, like its OK. I guess whilst the world is waiting for the authorities to catch up on the mis use of the word AI or artificial intelligence, then we are just gonna get it thrown at us. Effectively being mis-sold.

Unless the images are reversed or I am reading them wrong or something, the performances a notch worse in reading and in writing department?

I hope you shut down between boots, Warm boot doesn't reset every register that Linux modifies.

After the MARCH updates.

The latest update does not help my FireCuda 530 NVMe reaching write speeds above 2000 MB's. Write speeds are supposed to be ~5000 MB's for this drive. Read speed is as it should be ~7000 MB's. I don't think write speed going from ~2000 MB's to ~5000 MB's makes any real-world performance difference, but it is still bothersome to have such low write speeds.

I'm not aware that this was ever promised. Windows probably always had absurd overhead vs. Linux ext4 with small files and this was just not visible until PCIe SSDs arrived. I'm not optimistic that this is about to change.

In 5 decades have never seen those "removing legacy to make faster" claims happen. Think the small legacy stuff designed to run on hardware, that was sub 1% of current hardware power, is irrelevant compared to real issue which is current day bloat. Not to arouse the penguin people but just look at Linux combination of low overhead but extreme backwards compatibility.

no, it means the march-july updates, Think Hilbert has an incorrect KB article there, the fix for this hasn't been introduced yet, Mid monthly CU is security only, it doesn't include performance/stability/quality fixes, those are in the end of month package.

If you were to install Windows 10 on the same system would those speeds then be reached?
