I read your original article but must admit I haven't kept up since.
One thought just occurred to me: Did you ever install "proper" motherboard drivers?
I had a machine that had "good" disk I/O performance, but not great. At one point I installed Intel's RST (Rapid Storage Technology) drivers, replacing Microsoft's default disk drivers, and it made a tremendous difference. From that point forward, copying large files from disk to disk meant almost reaching the SATA limit rather than a fraction of it.
From that point forward, I've stopped ignoring the chipset drivers that are bundled with motherboards, and I've been installed those Intel drivers everywhere I can.

That is a great question. That's because you made me think of something.
When I got this machine with 8.1 on it, the disk I/O was so fantastic it was amazing.
The machine would start in about 4 seconds. I was so happy and couldn't believe it and it was why I never cared about having an HDD (instead of an SSD).
Win10 really brought about a change of events in relation to Disk I/O however. Though that, of course, is very difficult to separate as scientifically measured data. I mean maybe it was just me thinking that. Except now my machine was starting very slowly.
Additional Point - Related To Drivers
When Win10 released my Harman Kardan speakers didn't seem to sound as good as they used too either. I have always thought it was a driver thing.
Then, my screen / video started flickering badly under Win10 and there was a whole driver problem there that I've wrestled with that seriously never was a problem under win8.1
Now, as you are saying this about the I/O drivers I could totally believe that.
However, it is quite difficult to really know which ones are the best for my particular laptop.
Well, anyways I had that problem with the video driver that I reverted to old version and it seemed to work then had to upgrade to a newer version and every once in a while it will flicker again.
My point here is that maybe there are some driver problems under Win10.
I'm not a Win10 hater, but I do want it to work.
Thanks for chatting with me about all this. It's interesting and really appreciate the input and ideas.

So I won't be meeting a tall, dark, handsome stranger, or be going on a long journey?

Seriously, I just visited a commercial website that had javascript snowflakes "falling" down the screen!
So if anyone wonders where your dopehead friend from programming school many years ago works now, just ask me and I can tell you!

I'm actually about 1000K south of her, but will still likely get wet feet as she turns into a rain depression and heads our direction later in the week. Still, thoughts are with the people up there - there's a pretty good chance she could be category 5 before hitting landfall.
Cheers,

They're nothing to play with, never been through and category 5 and hope I never do but been through many lesser ones. Nature is awesome and I treat her with much respect.
