I built a new X570 based PC with Ryzen-3 3100 cpu and 500gb Samsung EVO970 M.2 drive plugged into the motherboard as my boot drive (64bit Win10 Pro.)
But I noticed that when reading/writing multiple files, my M2 is (almost) no faster than my extremely old SATA SSD (before a BIOS update this morning, it was actually slower!):
Crystal Disk Mark 6 benchmarks my M2 as substantially faster than an old SATA SSD in the same machine:
Corsair ForceGT 120gb SATA SSD Sequential Write: 481.4 MB/s
Samsung EVO970 500gb M2 drive Sequential Write: 3328.2 MB/s
Copying a single 2gb MP4 produces the expected (fast) result:
o SSD to SSD: 0:13
o M2 to M2: 0:02
But copying a folder containing 53,161 files/folders (31.2GB):
o SSD: to SSD - 5:30
o M2 to M2 - 5:02
If copying ONE (large) file to/from the same drive is nearly 7x faster, shouldn't copying thousands of small files produce better than just a 9% improvement?
