Should I enable this option
Can something go wrong if windows crashes
I use the SSD(Samsung PSSD 7 1TB)for my games and I never remove it(I actually wish to hide it from the list in the Safely Removal)
Will I actually get better perfomance(currently it feels like the SSD is not working as good as before)

The drive is connected to my one and only usb-c port
And actually,does that option affects read speed?

In the taskmanager I often see it showing read speeds at bellow 100mb when loading games

Just for info, USB4 port, USB4 Enclosure and USB4 C cable connected external drive. Difference between write caching and quick removal.

Important to use the SRH though. Quite a big gain. Worth checking out.
