| 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.

| Yes the entirety of the sources for the article appears to be

| 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.

| And points them to that page.

| You made that up but that does sound like a real story

| Feels like a lot of internet "articles" these days.

| leaving you with the MLC/TLC/QLC/etc performance.
