SSD Lags HARD While Multitasking
I know drives are known to work slower while multitasking, but this new Samsung 850 EVO I put in my laptop is dog slow right now. Chrome and WMP12 are open. Drive, F.lux, Avast, and Intel HD Graphics running in background. Also copying 5.4GB of data to flash drive. I have my startup and services slimmed, OS is optimized for SSD performance. See system specs in signature. Normally, it takes 2 seconds or less for OneNote to open, but this time I counted about 10 seconds. Any reason for this? The SSD is currently 54.3% full. I do plan to remedy this some once this microSATA-to-SATA adapter comes and I can mount my HDD in the optical bay.
Thoughts? Do the 850 EVOs just not handle heavy multitasking very well, or is this actually normal and I'm just being an impatient nerd?
