Anecdotally I'm on the latest update and haven't noticed any SSD slowdown. Still cold-boots in 5 seconds and Crystal disk benchmarks within the spec of the SSD.
Maybe it's some weird edge case on certain SSDs, certain FW, and certain apps, but the the quality of the article is just empty trash.
It wouldn't surprise me if they did something like removing a banned list entry for a common SSD manufacturer thinking a known issue was resolved, and surprise, they were incorrect.
e: A more interesting prospect, potentially, would be if they had some runaway logging thing somewhere in some cases that was blowing the SLC caching capabilities on a lot of SSDs, leaving you with the MLC/TLC/QLC/etc performance.
Details would definitely be nice. Maybe we'll get lucky and Gamers Nexus will have already poked at it a bit since they're active in the hardware investigation space.
Ah, so others have been having this problem too. My work computer has been taking about 2 minutes to fully boot up (with ssd) after the march update when it used to just take a few seconds. Unfortunately it's my work computer so I don't have admin access and have just been living with it.
My laptop slowed down but more like "hiccups" it's extremely annoying and super obvious it's because of updates.
Before it was smooth. Actually insanely fast. Now after the updates doesn't matter what software tricks or updates I do. It's just not as fast as it used to be period.
