[SOLVED] Samsung ssd 970 pro nvme m.2 1tb slow speed results?

[Acronis]

Hi,
this are my benchmark results of Samsung ssd 970 pro nvme M.2 1tb
should I expect faster speeds?
I have Asus PRIME X470-PRO MB,
16GB RAM,
Radeon R9 200 2gb,
and sata slots are used with hdd and dvd drive, I have used one pcie slot for GPU, is that something that slows down M.2 ssd?
I updated firmware in Samsung Magician, should I run Performance optimization, would that improve speed of this drive?

I find this benchmark, why is my result almost double worse that this?

Check M.2 slot settings in BIOS of your motherboard.
It's possible, it is running in PCIE x2 mode instead of PCIE x4 mode.

Edit. Your motherboard has 2 M.2 slots. One is PCIE x4 (under heatsink), other is PCIE x2 (without heatsink).
Place your M.2 in PCIE x4 M.2 slot.
