Hey everyone, I've got a Samsung SSD 870 QVO 1TB that's running into some serious latency issues. I'm seeing latencies skyrocketing to 7000-8000ms while downloading games, and it usually sits around 1000-2000ms, which is pretty frustrating. Windows isn't installed on this SSD, and it doesn't seem to be overheating based on HWInfo's readings.
I've tried a few things to troubleshoot: reseating the SSD, checking its health (100% good), and even doing a fresh install of Windows. The temperatures look normal according to Samsung's software too.
It's a bit concerning because I had my OS on this drive before, but with the NVME at 40% health now, I didn't want to risk it anymore. The high latency can cause my whole computer to freeze while downloading, so I switched back to using the NVME. Anyone have suggestions on how to tackle this?

First off, have you tried uninstalling Windows update KB5063878? Some users have reported that this update can cause issues with SSD performance. It's a quick fix that might help your situation.
Check if your SSD is over 70% full. A nearly full drive can really bog down performance and increase latency. It might be worth running some cleanup to see if that helps!
You should definitely follow troubleshooting steps to address the high latency on your SSD. Here’s a link with some useful solutions: [High Latency Solutions](https://www.instanttechie.com/solutions/high-latency-samsung-ssd). It might give you a more specific action plan to tackle that issue!
What even is this nonsense? Seems like you just copied the OP’s post to an AI site, lol!
No worries, the link has some extra troubleshooting tips that might actually help!
Nope, it’s not full at all. I keep an eye on storage space.
