Question Poor SSD performance

[buzznut]

I have been testing my NVMe SSD and the performance is really poor. I have a feeling its not the SSD itself, but perhaps a driver issue or something. Here's the specs:
Gigabyte B450 Aorus M mobo
AMD Athlon 200GE
GTX 1060 3 GB
ADATA NVMe XPG Gammix S10 SSD
Windows 10 X64
EVGA 750 W PSU

I've run ADATA's trim software and did a disc cleanup, and eliminated all the background processes I could think of. I am comparing the drive to a similar NVMe drive in a different computer. In particular, the random read speeds seem way off.
Anyway I am hoping that there's something I haven't tried yet.

ADATA SSD on the left, King Dian SSD on the right.
ADATA SSD is rated at 1800 reads/850 Write
Read and writes for the King Dian are 1628 and 1340, however that is for the 240GB and I have the 128 so it is likely slower.

what size is the ssd? how full it is?
can't you get a larger image?

The lower capacity is the reason for lower performance.

Sorry, I inserted the images not knowing how tiny they would be.
The ADATA SSD is 128GB, it is 31% full.
It is rated for 1800 Read/850 Write but I am getting 661/446 in crystaldiskmark.

I'll try the photo one more time...

that the 1TB+ drive, not your 120GB drive, your is 660/450

looks like you are in the average bench ranges for that drive

Samsung EVO pro is what you want for best performance, better yet, wait for PCIE 4.0 NVME and motherboards with new Ryzens for real kick butt performance.
