[SOLVED] NVMe SSD too slow ?

[Parroty69]

I noticed the drive was very slow in benchmarks here is the user benchmark:

I also noticed that the driver was Version 10.0.22000.1 from 2006
What can I do to make the SSD faster?

You will have to post the link to the full UserBenchmark results for anyone to have enough context to comment.

I'm running Windows 11 on my pc but the results say it is Windows 10 for some reason.
Please don't mind the low gaming score, it's because of the integrated graphics
Also, I noticed that the ram score was low, can you help me with that? Intel says my cpu only supports DDR4-2933 and task manager says the speed is 2933 mhz.

You have a lot of background stuff running which can make the UBM numbers a little wonky.

Reboot and let the machine sit for 5 mins then run UBM with the browser closed and post a LINK to the results page.

Please run CrystalDiskMark intstead of UBM.
Post a screencap here.

I suggest you also run HDTune Benchmark. CDM and HDTune have the same general goal with different approaches that complement each other nicely.

Your Sequential write is slow.
What version of CDM are you using?
What is this drive connected to?

Here is my 660p

I'm using crystaldiskmark version 8.0.4 x64. It's connected to my motherboard, I think but I'm on a laptop so I can't open it up without voiding the warranty.
Maybe it's because of the cache? You have a 1tb version of the 660p and the cache of the 1tb model is larger than the one of the 512gb model. But yours is filled up 723gb which makes the cache smaller than if it was empty and I only filled mine up 253gb
EDIT: I found this which explains the cache size reduction of 660p drives

My ssd is about 55% filled and yours is about 75% filled so my ssd should have more cache so my theory should be disproved

OK...running the same version as you:

How is your drive connected?

I found a disassembly of a laptop with the same model and I have highlighted the location of the ssd:

And the specific model of this laptop?

And the specific model of this laptop?

It's a g712l from ROG, it has 10750h and intel website says it only supports ddr4-2933mhz
Also I noticed that the ram was a bit slow in the userbenchmark, here is the cpu z:

Those CDM results are perfectly normal - the 512GB 660p is only rated for 1500/1000 MB/s.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking there was that much diff between the 512GB (his) and the 1TB (mine).

But yeah....it is what it is.

The 512GB 660p is generally a bad choice as you only have four dies with QLC there, or one per channel, so no die interleaving. Also a relatively small SLC cache. Unfortunately it is/was a popular OEM drive so they could list "512GB NVMe drive" on the specifications.
