Hi all, so I recently built a new rig for light gaming and work purposes with spec includes:

Ryzen 2200g
Asrock AB350 Pro4 ATX
G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZKW (2 by 8gb)
Super Flower SF-550F14MT 550w

At the moment I'm running old (known working) SATA2 160gb drives with swap file on secondary drive. Gaming performance was as expected so I have no issues there.
My concern is with copying performance: When copying files from one hdd to another or pasting a copy on the same drive, the process seems to hang the machine to a point where sometimes Task Manager won't even open until the copy process is completed.
Once or twice I did manage to open it during the copy which showed the cpu at ~4% and the drives at 100%.
Like I mentioned, these drives are old but are known to be working so I can safely rule them out. Plus, I used the same drives in my old 1st gen i5 and ran the same copy process and the machine was perfectly usable while the copy process was running.
Also worth noting is that I've run the test on a clean install of Windows 10 64bit with the following combinations and all had the same behaviour:
  • no updates, no AMD drivers
  • no updates, AMD drivers
  • latest updates, no AMD drivers
  • latest updates, AMD drivers
BIOS has all default settings and I've confirmed the drives are in AHCI configuration.
Has anybody had a similar experience with Intel or AMD? I've never built an AMD but I kinda don't think this is normal behaviour.
Oh, and the board had to go back to Woot because they didn't update the BIOS for Raven Ridge (even though I asked them too) so I don't know if something got screwed up there.
Hope somebody out there has some advice!
 
Try disabling Windows Defender's realtime file protection.

I found it caused massive slowdowns with my 7-Zip so I ended up disabling it altogether
 
Apologies for the late reply, been out of action for a while.

@oldhat: Tried all ports on the board including the 2 ASMedia ports with no change. Have found a SATA2 riser which I'm going to try out for comparison.
@Phireside: Thanks, will check those Defender settings this evening.
If the riser works then I guess it's safe to assume the board has issues? Unless this board just hates SATA2 drives which is a long shot.
Thanks for the suggestions, and will update.

Click to expand...

No appreciable change hey, going to try and get hold of a MB from another manufacturer and run some tests....maybe it is just down to this board not liking my old drives. I think it's time for my first SSD.
 
won't you just download Crystal Disk Mark, do a test and let us know your speeds of the 2 drives... lets work from there
