[SOLVED] Speed test says ssd is faster than new pcie nvme

[Syphongreed]

I have an older 512gb evo 840 ssd, today i just installed a XPG gamix 5 gen3/4 nvme.

Everything is running good, but AS SSD benchmark says my sata 3 ssd is running at 5000mb/s SEQ. R/W while my nvme is running at 2000mbs.

System:
I5 6600k
Asus z270 tuff mark 2
16gb ddr 4
512gb ssd
256gb nvme
1tb hd
Asus 1660 super.

SSD is on sata port 3 and hdd is on sata port 4.
NVME is in the port next to my 1660.

840EVO is SATA which is bandwidth limited to ~550MB/s (case sensitive, you're writing milli-bits)

**Note: When a device in SATA mode is installed on the M.2_1 socket, SATA_1 port cannot be used.

which mode do you have it set to? these are the specs for the board below

m2.0 with 4 screw holes
1 x M.2 Socket 3*1, , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (SATA mode & X4 PCIE mode)

m2.0 with 3 screw holes
1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE mode only)

6 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray

You have RAPID mode turned on for that drive.
That ludicrous speed is reading your RAM, not the drive.

Thanks man, completely forgot about that.
