[SOLVED] Read/Write speeds on Dell NVMEs?

[SuicuneSol]

Hello,

I ordered a Dell G5 Gaming Desktop. The drive I chose was a 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive. However, I can't for the life of me find the read/write speeds of this drive. Does anyone, maybe someone familiar with Dell prebuilts, know them?

The item number of the drive in question is 400-BJKF. I'd like to know so that, if this drive turns out to be total garbo, I can buy another SSD and install that when the PC arrives.

Looks to have dram which is good.

You could test the drive in crystaldiskmark to check performance

Unless the specific make/model is specified in your order, the specific drive almost certainly changes over time.

Wait until you get it, benchmark it, see what happens.
It probably won't suck.

The big boys will often source those drives from multiple vendors, even in the same model. You can usually go into device manager and look at the details and figure out what the drive is. Sometimes the driver section on Dells software update section for you computer model will list out generic drive info if there are firmware updates listed for it if you are trying to figure it out beforehand. This is especially true when multiple vendors are used. Except for advertised components like discrete graphics and CPUs OEM internal components are rarely high end (which is why boutique builders exist because you can pick). In the case of the model listed I would expect something low-mid tier for an M.2 drive.
