[T_L_O_T_D]

installed 500 gb PNY cs3030 M.2 nvme on my asus z97 motherboard . the speed i get via crystal is about 800 mb/s is it normal? cause i had checked the reviews before buy this and speed test was around 3.5 gb

Your motherboard has a Pcie 2.0 m. That is limited to a MAX of 1250 mb/s. Not sure how close you can actually get to the max speed but you won’t get anywhere close to 3500 on that old board.

That is absolutely normal for M.2 ports in Z97 era boards. Mine included.
It will not give full speed to that drive.
