as title says system drive is incredibly bad. worse than any other drive ive ever had. its advertised seek and latency is 8.9 and 5.6, and this drive is fresh from a format. and please, i know ssds are infinitely faster, this is a question about the current drive in the system and making the computer usable in its current state, not an upgrade.

without any other guidance i ran defrags and error checks with completion, even got the drive down to <1% fragmented and tried again, amrginal increase in boot times, still very slow, ~3 minutes after welcome screen for full functionality.( boot takes a full 3 minutes as it is)
