14 R1, reviving with Samsung 860 QVO SATA SSD
After a long long time giving my Alienware 14 an upgrade with a Samsung 860 QVO SSD. I'm replacing the dvdrw with a caddy+the old hdd and connected the ssd with main SATA interface. Also kept the masata ssd(64gb) to accelarate the hdd in caddy. Even though my boot drive is the ssd, Windows 10 boot time hasn’t improved at all. Also not seeing any significant loadtime improvements in game or photoshop. Tried changing Sata operation from RAID to AHCI from BIOS, the benchmark results have improved a bit, but thats also "just a bit". Am I missing something here??
Thanks in Advance.

I know this isn’t the same but, I have an Alienware 15 R1 with a SATA HDD and 2x500Gb SATA M.2 SSDs for storage. The speeds are amazing with the new SSDs but I am starting to think the reason my System was slow was because of thermals AND Storage Media. You know how the PS5 is going to have a 5.5Gbps SSD? That means even if the specs are lower than the Xbox series X, it can render the stuff faster.
