super high SSD response time in task manager

[𝔗𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔲𝔰 𝔄𝔠𝔱𝔲𝔞𝔩𝔦𝔰]

When downloading something or running a speed test both of my SSDs (Crucial BX500 and Patriot P220) show response time of about 2000-4000ms in task manager yet their speeds usually are what they should be (about 500mb/s).Is this normal for cheap SATA SSDs or something is wrong?Googling this issue did not give any real fix or explanation as to why it is happening

There are a few possibilities:

• The cache can be running out forcing the drive to write directly to TLC/QLC flash, which is considerably slower than SLC or DRAM cache.
  
• You might not have completed a TRIM operation, which instructs the drive to erase unused blocks. When writing the drive prefers erased blocks since blocks must be erased before being rewritten, which adds to the write time.
  
• It is possible your drive could be overheating, which can cause it to drop to a low power mode to protect itself from damage. This will cause a degradation in performance, especially during power-hungry write operations.

I might be wrong here but the reaponse time in the task manager is probably measuring the response while the speed test is saturating the drive. So the taskmanager "ping" is waiting on theon going drive read/writes to finish before it can do its own?

Maybe,but then why does it show 5-10ms dueing read operations and up to 4000-5000ms during write?

It's a useless feature, it's not accurate.

If your speeds and IOPS are what they should be, stop worrying

its measuring the queue time for data waiting
not actual read/write times

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

Never use Task Manager for this task. :p

Interesting stuff.I thought it's the same as all the other hardware latencies

So I shouldn't worry about my SSDs if they show normal read/write speeds in benchmarks like crystaldiskmark?

if its the os drive or something else is accessing it during the bench, toss out the results

Both drives behave like that.And nothing is running on the background except steam,discord and afterburner

Just did a test myself. As long as your write speed is not dropping considerably in the Sequential test you should be fine. I tested on my NVMe drive and estimated response time spiked too during the sequential test.
During read it never got above 0.5ms. During write it maxed around 10000 ms. My guess at this point is that the count is inaccurate when the write buffer is full.

I'm having a similar problem but I can't use my pc its really slow and the download stops and goes in kbps

This is simply due to stupid defaults Microsoft has left enabled since forever...

Disable the following to help speed up WinOS on SSDs...

> Fast Startup + Hibernation
> Superfetch
> Prefetch
> Drive Indexing
> Windows Search
> Controlled Folders and Corw Isolation within Windows Defender
> System Restore on all secondary drives, then edit System Restore for C Drive to only allow approx 10GB worth of space for that service
> Make your own Power Profile Plan, base yours off of High Performance and give it new name, then change your new plan so that the HDD sleep timer is set to 0

Ensure you install ALL your Drivers. Do not rely on whatever Microsoft supplies for those. Such as Intel or AMD Chipset (this usually includes driver for sata chipset and nvme); GPUs; Audio; LAN; WIFI; BT.

Most Motherboard and Laptops and also add-on WIFI cards/adapters often have BT built is as part of that availability feature set so if that is true for you, do not rely on some built in WinOS Driver for the BT but install the one from the chipset maker, such as Realtek or Intel for example

Doesn't most of Prefetch get disabled anyway if you have a SSD as your boot drive? Can't even manage to get more than a few kb of layout.ini running rundll32 advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks on my machine.

Superfetch should be auto disabled when OS is installed to an SSD however Prefetch is still active, need to disable via Registry.

And disable and remove OneDrive is also a big plus. Microsoft even acknowledged it being a major culprit to people's Gaming issues because it could do a sync while a game IA running or possibly sync old files back to the PC. It's nothing but trouble if you allow that to backup/sync files from your Documents and AppData structures
