Extremely slow SSD in Surface Book

Anonymous

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.

Yeah, something is up with that for sure. I'm getting much faster speeds on my i5 Surfacebook. Have you tried a full reset? Perhaps using the encryption caused some issues (usually shown in cases of high read speeds, but low write speeds).

Just did a full reset and it doesn't help. It's frustrating.

Well I ran tests from Crystaldisk and HD Tune, and the results from them are reasonable... I'm not sure if the problem is real or just from buggy testing tool. If someone can test his/her test result with AS SSD Benchmark, that would be great
