[SOLVED] New Samsung 980 M.2 500gb slow file transfer (ca 35mb/s) ?

[Helpmeplsthx]

I got my first nvm ssd today.

Benchmark score is decent ( read:3170 mb/s , write: 2573 Mb/s), but why does it perform so bad, when transferring files or starting programs? Sometimes even hovering around 8mb/s.
I updated all drivers.

Tried both NVMe slots and in BIOS changed device configuration
accordingly

And I am still getting this rate.

Thank you for any help, advice!

When you transfer files between media your overall speed will be the slowest link in the chain. What is the 'other' drive you are transferring from or to?

If you are just copying files from one spot on the NVMe to another you need to realize that there will be a major performance hit when your source AND destination are the same. Basically, the drive is pulling double duty.

I transferred files from a external Hdd to the 980, thank you for the response.

So your speed is limited by a 'probably very slow' external hard drive and the USB interface.

Thank you very much for the info. Learned a new thing, I am still a novice, regarding PCs.

That will do it. (The weakest link!)
