[SOLVED] SSD not running at full speed?

[ferdin13]

So I recently installed a samsung 980 ssd 1 TB NVME on my HP computer, but it is not running at full speed. When I checked crystal disk info and samsung magician, it stated it was running at PCIe Gen 3x2, and doing some research I found out that this is why it was so slow. It is currently only peaking at around 1700 MBPS, and I don't know how to make it faster. I have an HP so the BIOS is crap and there is nothing to change there, and there is only one PCIE slot on my motherboard that should support the full speed.

SPECS:
Intel Core i5-12400F
GTX 1650 SUPER
16 GB DDR4 3200 MHZ
1 TB Samsung 980 SSD

You probably can't.
Contact HP support.

BTW - What model HP computer?

HP Pavilion Gaming desktop TG01
Its weird because I have a really weak HP Pavilion 570 that I put an NVME in and it worked at full speed, despite it being far less powerful.

Why would that be weird?
Different computers, different specs. They have no relation one to another (other than same manufacturer).

Which model HP Pavilion Gaming desktop TG01 ?
That is not a full model name.

Why are you masking model number with "x"?
Show full model number.
Full model number is necessary to identify your hardware. There is no personal information in model number.

hp pavilion gaming desktop tg01-2170m. Had to look it up because system information only showed the X's

Well - not all M.2 slots are created equal.
Some support only SATA mode, some support NVME (PCIE 3.0), some support NVME (PCIE 4.0), some support PCIE x2, some support PCIE x4.
All this depends on cpu, motherboard, motherboard chipset.

If you have no BIOS configuration options to change M.2 slot settings, then you can't do anything.

BTW - your listed specs do not match model number of your HP pc. It should be Ryzen system (not Intel core i5).

Well my PC didn't really have a model number it was custom built by HP and I don't know if that effects models and their naming system is weird, so i dont really know the model number. I would wish to have that PC lol. Thanks for your help then.

I have a very similar issue, put a new nvme drive and am getting very slow, 1700+- both read and write. What can I do to get normal nvme speeds? My system is an HP TG01-2003W Pavilion Ryzen 5 5600G 3.9GHz AMD Radeon RX 5500 4GB .

Thanks for any advice!
