Optane systems utilise an NVME SSD with super low latency to accelerate mechanical HDD read access (works extremely well), however it seems to work even better if you disable fast startup (current BIOS to Desktop is 6.2 seconds with a 7200Rpm drive).
Also the Intel SSD toolbox app has a optimise section, I have superfetch disabled on my system (because I decided there is no point using system memory to do basically the same job Optane was doing) and the optimise section states no changes needed superfetch disabled...green tick.
I have a feeling that anyone using an SSD to boot Windows would be ok to disable superfetch as well without seeing a noticeable decrease in performance.
Hi,
If one gets a samsung ssd samsung magician can do all that with their added power options file I believe or at least show the options to disable if one wants too.
Fast start yeah is one feature I wish ms would stop with they just dig deeper and deeper and cause more pain than needed and use that to eol older processors.
Sorry to say that, but that's the main Marketing idea:
EoL the old CPU, so they (the "suckers") will buy a new PC, with a modern CPU, new video card, new WiFi, new audio chip, so everybody will make money out of it (the OEM, intel/amd, nVidia, Realtek, Broadcom etc.), plus we (Microsoft) will sell a new Windows license, since the last one, as OEM, was only valid for the old PC and is not usable anymore!!
