I am experiencing very poor SSD writing performance in my Surface Book. It's i5 dGPU 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model. Installing applications and copying files have been really slow. Windows 10 is updated to the latest. Has anyone having the same?

Disabling BitLocker slightly helped (10~20%) but not very much.

    Yes its a sp4 I used the same Samsung OEM version that's used for the surface but this one was pulled out of a new dell system.  I just wanted the fanless surface with the large ssd, so I had to find a workaround lol.  the drive is  very hard to find but heres one on eBay that's still active

    Wow, nice. That's seriously impressive.

    That's the SP4, right? Which Samsung NVMe did you pick?
