    Question Low write speeds with Samsung 860 EVO 250Gb

    You have an 860 EVO on an AMD MOBO and there is an incompatibility between the 860 EVO and AMD. You should use the SSD with an Intel controller or SATA AHCI controller, which is the default Microsoft controller.

    Question BIOS setting needs to be changed?

    Yes, if you are using an adapter the speed may be much lower than advertised. That is why it is not advisable to use an NVMe in an expansion slot... you can but you pay the price ;)

    Question BIOS setting needs to be changed?

    Indeed you can plug an NVMe on an expansion slot and use it, but of course performances would not be as equal as you plug the SSD into a storage PCIe slot!!

    Question Bios/windows not detecting my Samsung 970 evo nvme M.2 ssd...

    Your computer supports both SATA and PCIe on the same port, make sure to adjust BIOS settings to use PCIe devices. Also update your BIOS to the latest version.

    Question BIOS setting needs to be changed?

    Expansion slots are not meant to be used for the NVMe PCIe, therefore you should have a STORAGE PCIe NVMe port. If not, you can't do anything to improve the performances.

    Question My SamSung EVO 970 250GB Won't boot

    Your mobo M.2 port is also SATA, make sure that you changed to PCIe in the BIOS otherwise will never boot! ;)

    Question Lycom DT-120 M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0

    Why are you using an NVMe with an adapter? You know using an adapter for an NVMe drive might not work. These SSDs are meant to be connected directly into the MOBO. I do believe that you do have one port. Just plug it in there!!

    Question Ev0 970 Plus NVMe on Z97 help

    Because you are using an adapter!! The M.2. port 3*4 should be in your MOBO and not using an adapter! Since you are using an adapter, this results are more than fine.

    Question Does NVME help productivity responsiveness, anybody wants to share their test results?

    Of course, it is faster!!! NVMe is always faster. To check the performances it is always better to use Magician if you have a Win OS. https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/970evo/ But be careful, if you want to buy an NVMe you must make sure that your MOBO supports it!

    Question Migrated M.2 SSD still reads from the original spinning disk as well.

    Just perform a clean install of the OS and the first time you boot from the NVMe remove the HDD.
