My ssd has 500mb/s read rate & CrystalDiskMark proves it (sequential read). But on games in ssd, when loading, i monitor the speeds via task manager, read speed is not even 200mb/s, i have 16gigs of RAM & ryzen 5 af, why is happening? Both disk mark & games using sequential read isn't it?

No.
That "500" is a theoretical best case, with 1 large sequential block of data.

Loading a game level, there are dozens (hundreds?) of very small files.
Completely different.

There is nothing wrong, this is the way it works.
