[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1910513, member: 190607"] I have little doubt that that is the source of your slowdown problem. Have a look at: "In practice, an SSD’s performance begins to decline after it reaches about 50% full." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.seagate.com/tech-insights/ssd-over-provisioning-benefits-master-ti/[/URL] "The rule of thumb to keep SSDs at top speeds is to never completely fill them up. To avoid performance issues, you should never use more than 70% of its total capacity. ... "When you’re getting close to the 70% threshold, you should consider upgrading your computer’s SSD with a larger drive."
