Although that helps, I was talking about alignment. This can happen at a minor level - eg a small block size could be 4kb but the partition starts at 63kb. That means each filesystem block maps onto parts of two different SSD/HDD blocks. For SSDs there are also major block sizes (erase block) which typically tended to be 128kb. Again a misalignment could cause a lot of extra work to be done. Depending on how Windows got partitioned - the older the partitioning the more likely this is to happen. It won't shouldn't using a current Windows 7/8 on a fresh machine today. Run msinfo32 and then Components > Storage > Disks to find the relevant partition and its starting offset/alignment. (This is unlikely to be your problem, but if present does result in the kind of performance degradation you are seeing.)
