Chastity@ASUS has previously mentioned disabling the C States with ThrottleStop to obtain better SSD SATA3 performance. Don't know if this actually works, but you could give it a try. Be aware that ThrottleStop needs to be running for this configuration change. It cannot permanently disable the C States. However it is possible to configure it to launch in a minimized state on Startup.
