First post so apologies if I break proper form . For background, I recently upgraded my PC getting, a new mobo, CPU, RAM, and a new M.2 stick.

My Current build is:

ASUS X570-TUF w/ Wifi
AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT
Nvidia GXT 1070-ti
Crucial BL8G32C16U4B.M8FE 2x8G @ 3200MHz
WD Black SN750 NVMe PCIe M.2 500gb w/o heatsink
Samsung 840 Evo 250gb
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB

My issue lies in the speeds reported by UserBenchmark and AS SSD test for both the WD Black M.2 and the Samsung Evo SSD. The UserBenchmark results can be found here https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/33953602 and the AS SSD benchmark can be found here

.

As of now my BIOS is current with the newest edition, the firmware on both of the drives is current based on Western Digital Dashboard and Samsung Magician. 289 GB of 465 GB are free on my M.2 and 232 of 232 are free on the SSD. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

SATA to NVMe AND moving to a whole new system....cloning was not the way you needed to proceed.
Especially that we now see reduced performance.

A new system really needs a clean install.

All new parts
Clone from old SATA to new NVMe.

Please give us a rundown of the specific steps you took to get here.

But...the basic recommendation is to start with a clean install on the new NVMe, in this new system. Cloning doesn't count.

Old system specs were...

ASRock H370M Pro4
Intel i5-8600k
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16gb (4x4gb)
Nvidia GXT 1070-ti
Samsung 840 Evo 250gb
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB

And I have not checked the chipset drivers yet so very good catch. I will work on that asap.

The build I was coming from was as follows.

ASRock H370M Pro4
Intel i5-8600k
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16gb (4x4gb)
Nvidia GXT 1070-ti
Samsung 840 Evo 250gb
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB

The original boot drive was the Samsung 840 Evo. I replaced the motherboard, the CPU, the ram and inserted the M.2. After powering back up after I put everything together I used AOEMI backupper 6.0 to clone my Samsung 840 Evo drive to the new WD Black SN750. After cloning was done I unplugged the Samsung 840 Evo and tried to boot up off of the M.2 but needed to use the repair feature off of the Windows 10 Home edition USB stick I have. After repair was done I opened the windows partion manager, expanded the M.2's boot partition to reclaim the entrity of the space and then wiped the SSD. I then used the UserBenchmark bench-marking and AS SSD benchmark to see how the drives were doing and thats when I noticed how slow the M.2 was. I should note that my SSD was slow itself before the upgrade, but I assumed it was a cumulative issue from having it cotain Window, being fairly full, and being an older drive.

If theres any other info you need don't hesitate to ask, I am more than happy to oblige.

Yup that just about did it. I suppose that trying to find the shortcut ended up costing me way more hours than just doing my do diligence. Thanks a bunch. Last question though, how do I close a question thread?
