Hi Everyone,

I just installed Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB in my new G14 2021 and something is not right with transfers. It gets spot on 1800mb/s for both Write and Read in CrystalDiskMark test and Samsung Magician, so it seems like the drive is stuck at Pcie 2x if I'm not wrong.

The thing is that both HWInfoz CrystalDiskInfo and Samsung Magician are showing that the device works as Pcie 4x, not 2x.

I installed Nvme driver from Samsung site but it changed nothing.

Would much appreciate some help.

Cheers

EDIT:

Strange, after I plugged in the charger, the transfer got back to normal. The thing is that for some strange reason, my Advanced Settings under battery icon is very limited, there is nearly nothing there, when my other laptop has got processor, SSD etc settings there. Where can I turn off SSD power settings that I believe this drive is under when on battery?
