    Been trying to get my 4k access speeds up on my SSD and determined that the CPU speed when the CPU is running in the sleep state's (i.e. 800ish Mhz) the performance on the SSD drops. Is there a way that I can turn that off and run at the base speed on these chips and disable that power saving feature?
