High Latency with 120gb ssd

Looking back at your original post, I assume from what you posted that it worked OK before you installed the new SSD. I would go back and check all the cabling and connectors in case something was accidentally moved during the installation.

I have checked the sata cable and the sata power cables and both are all the way in. Something to also note when I installed the ssd I continued to use windows 10 on the hdd and don't recall having issues with the audio. Not sure if related but when a windows 10 notification sound is playing, there is a pop sound at the start of the notification sound. I read online maybe it is caused by the realtek sound drivers?

I just saw this reference about NVIDIA on another forum. It may be of interest to you and your problem.

You may be right I tried disabling realtek onboard audio and disabling some other devices and none of them stopped the popping at the start of a sound. I am pretty sure at this point it is the nvidia drivers causing this. Also I updated the realtek ethernet driver and downgraded the nvidia driver to 378.92 and ran the ssd benchmark again and the average latency was 450us and not 2500us like before. Do you think the realtek driver update fixed the issue?

I don't think Realtek was the cause and may just be coincidental. The NVIDIA is the main suspect.

Yep pretty sure it is Nvidia. Google chrome is sluggish with hardware acceleration and turning it off makes things alot smoother. Guess the only option is to downgrade or wait until Nvidia releases a better driver.
