[SOLVED] the speed of New SSD from gigabyte

[Wanderer_x]

Hello everyone. I have a question about my new ssd.
I just bought the new nvme m.2 ssd from aorus gigabyte and it's 2TB, (READ up to 5000 MB/s and WRITE up to 4400 MB/s).

So I tested and the result is 3500 READ and 3445 WRITE. My question is why the ssd result isn't like they mentioned , is my motherboard the reason that reduce the ssd speed?
My Motherboard is z390 aorus ultra.

Before i purchase the ssd i asked gigabyte support about if the ssd compatible with my motherboard and they replied:

"You may still use the SSD on PCIe 3.0 slot. Nevertheless, as the slot supports only PCIe 3.0, the data transformation speed will be reduced as well."

You purchased a PCIe 4.0 SSD and have it installed in a PCIe 3.0 slot. Because of this the SSD will only run at PCIe 3.0 speeds. You cannot run it at PCIe 4.0 speeds since no Intel motherboard/CPU has PCIe 4.0.

Thank you, you made it clear.
