I own a used Dell Inspiron 15 3567 i5 7th gen. I installed Windows, which took roughly half an hour, and the SSD is quite sluggish. Checking temperatures showed normal readings. Even when I tried Linux, performance stayed the same. After some testing, benchmarks revealed extremely poor speeds.

The same SSD tested on your main PC works fine, but something might still be affecting its performance.

Is the OS already set up on the SSD in the laptop? That’s the short answer. The question also asks if this affects performance—does it slow things down? Not at all, just keep going as usual.

I understand, the issue isn't related to an SSD problem. I checked two different drives and the same problem persists.

The inquiry focuses on memory capacity and its impact on speed. Yes, having RAM installed on the drive is typical. Running an OS directly from the SSD usually results in reduced performance compared to using a traditional hard drive.

It appears to be a SATA SSD, as high read speeds suggest it behaves similarly to a traditional SATA drive.

6GB of RAM with the operating system running on an SSD drive

I don’t think the issue lies with the drive itself, since it worked fine on another laptop

CrystalDiskInfo shows the drive details. Multiple partitions are present, reflecting variations across test runs.

They inserted it into another device, which caused the distinct drive letter.
