Question SSD slower than advertised..

[rllb4]

I just got a Silicon Power P34A80 M.2 SSD, and it said that it reads at 3400MB/s, but when i tested it with CrystalDiskMark the best i got was ~750MB/s....

When running an os on a drive it will perform worse in benchmarks.
Also, those speeds advertised are a best-case scenario and your drive will likely never hit those speeds.

What CPU and motherboard? Can you post a screenshot of your crystaldiskmark results?

Sounds like your motherboard only has the 10gigabit M2 port and not the newer faster one (32gb/s).
