850 EVO running at SATA II speed

[e.wilson6595]

In my laptop I have an NVMe as my main OS drive and an 850 evo as my secondary drive. CrystalDiskMark shows speeds half of what you'd expect from an 850 evo, and Speccy says that the drive is using SATA II transfer speeds. Is this a case of both my drives sharing bandwidth and slowing each other down?

Here's a picture of my configuration: https://imgur.com/a/rH6h6

Maybe it is sharing we don't know unless you give specs.

It would be helpful to list what your Computer is as well.

Model is MSI GP62MVR 6RF. I don't know the exact motherboard model but I know for a fact that it supports SATA III

I downloaded the manual from MSI website
All it says is
1x 2.5" hdd slot
1x m2 SSD Sata/PCIE combo

It doesn't mention if it is shared. Although while looking in the manual, have you had a look in the BIOS as there maybe an option on the sata drive.

There are no options in the BIOS for SATA settings. When I select boot order options, the SATA drive doesn't even show up strangely (as if it doesn't even recognize the drive).

I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say 🙁

That's alright, I appreciate you trying.
