Thanks. I will add another 8GB ram that matches the Samsung 8G module that the computer came with. This is an HP from 2 years ago. Great fast CPU— i5-8400. It come with an Intel Optane chip which speeds up the 7200RPM hard drive.

So that READ is 929 mb/s
WRITE is 159 mb/s
Computer boots in 16 seconds but I am same as you. I put it to sleep and reboot maybe once per week.

So no SSD which would read and write at about 400-500 mb/s
Someday ahead I will swap out the Optane chip for an NVME drive and use that NVME as my primary hard drive.

I did put a fresh WD 500GB NVME drive into a cheap i3 Dell laptop. Speeds now are>>
WRITE— 1800 Mb/s
READ —2400Mb/s

That is best as the Lord leads.

Very slow writes, and are you sure the read is that high? Even a Samsung 860 EVO maximum read/write speed is cited as 550 MB/s and 520 MB/s. And see https://photographylife.com/nvme-vs-ssd-vs-hdd-performance and https://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/storage-hardware/ssd-vs-hdd-speed.html

Sound good. I was able to get a Silicon Power 512GB NVMe for under 60.00 a while back and a quick CrystalDiskMark 7 sequential 1MiB Read is 3456.993 MB/s and 850.57 Write. On SSD I have tests as 564.26 Read and 489.91 Write.

Thank God for what tools we have; may they be use to help us serve Him.
