Hi all, I have just made the switch to my first SSD. Well actually, I just got a new laptop (Dell Inspirion 7577) which has a 256gb SSD along with a 1TB storage drive.
I am trying to extract a 55mb ZIP file which contains some documents from my old laptop, and noticing the speed for doing so is going VERY slow. The speed Windows is showing is actually UNDER 1KB A SECOND a lot of the time.
One thing I will mention is there are some game development related files in the ZIP file from a class from my bachelors degree. Still, I feel like I have extracted this ZIP file before on multiple other machines and had it not take any longer than 10-15 min tops.
It is currently scheduled to take 3.5 hours to extract the contents of the file out onto my SSD.
Should I be extracting onto the 1TB HDD instead, or am I missing something in my settings I can/should change? Is it a fundamental misunderstanding with using the SSD, are they simply not good for extracting ZIP files due to the size of the cache or something (user error?).
SPECS:
CPU Intel Core i7-7700HQ 7
GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q (6GB GDDR5) 14
Display 15.6”, Full HD (1920 x 1080), IPS
HDD/SSD 256GB M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD, 5400 rpm
M.2 Slot 1x 2280 PCIe NVMe See photo
RAM 16GB DDR4
I already set all of the easy settings I could to High Performance mode. Thus, I am super confused why it is extracting ZIP files slower than my 6 years old HP Pavilion would.
