Hi everyone, just wanted to share my experience. I installed the new Windows format with a 1TB SSD from Samsung. The speed tests look good—around 3.5 GB/s and 3.3 GB/s. Everything functions properly, but I noticed some slowdowns when opening Windows Explorer and navigating folders. It takes about 5 to 10 seconds, which feels like the system is searching excessively. No one else on this forum has reported the same issue with a standard SATA SSD, so it’s unusual. Have you tried any changes? Also, I checked power settings—performance mode is enabled, and the PCIE port is off. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated! Thanks.

Check for any HDDs or additional storage devices. Disable them one by one and observe if the problem resolves.

Only one Sata SSD connected via port #6. Probably best to test it later, but I can’t do it now. Thanks! If anyone has suggestions, let me know—I hope they’ve had similar experiences.
