Samsung 870 low performance help with overprovisioning NEEDED

[Joker42131]

Hello,

i recently measured only 70MB/s write and like only 21000 Random Write. I want to turn on full optimization, but i forgot create overprovisioning as soon as i installed OS. I have 2 parititions. 1 - 160 GB for system and like 1.6GB for games. What would happen if i turn this on - i read notice about data loss in pop out window! Is it is risky to turn on now?

I noticed slower loading in games, but write shouldn't affect that. Read is 530MB/s and 61000 Random Read. That is most strange!

Oh i turned overprovisioning manually, and then tried to switch to full performance mode but it didn't turn on after restart! Also if i try to switch to standard it shows it would disable over provisioning!

Firmware and SW update both show last version!!!

Thanks for help!

BTW your ToS is JOKe even things that show as optional if they are unchecked it uncheck agree with TOS and if i agree with TOs it checks all....................................

Tell us about your computer system laptop? PC? OS?   Is it capable of driving a SSD to full write performance?

Why is your primary partition so small?  An OS needs room to grow over time.

Personally I would set the primary to 500GB , provision 10%, then set full performance.

This gives the OS room for temp files it creates and misc addons.

Crowd the unused space too much and the OS complains and slows down.

I don't know if i still care, doesn't seem it affects loading times, that it is more new GPU, write shouldn't affect loading times anyways i thought perhaps something else could be wrong with SSD!

I am on PC i5 9600KF, 3200mhz 16GB ram, RTX4060... Yes last month test showed both 500/500 read/write. So i don't know what happened. I am on Windows 11 last build whatever it is. Seems it doesn't affect gaming i had long loading times ,even read showed OK i still wondered if there could not be something wrong with it since measure so long on write test. Diagnostic showed also everything as good and smart health is good!

I have 50GB free on OS disc and it never gets filled temp still take low space and i clean them a after awhile! But if you think it is problem i could repartition size just hope it will work in system, because i am lazy to boot safety OS where EaseUS paritioning tool is for free. And don't want to do this much either it is risky something can go wrong ever, if i don't have to.

I don't know how to set over provisioning 10%, it literally says max is 2%!
