850 pro scores much higher than 950 pro. I installed drivers, even I canged M2 from motherboard to a PCIe adapter and got the same scores.

On Samsung Magician sequential read is 1841 on 950 pro, 6509 on 850 evo

Windows 10 home
Asus z170m plus

Turn off RAPID mode. It causes disk benchmarks to measure your memory speed (cache) instead of disk speed.

You can leave it on if you have gobs of RAM and it makes you feel better. Personally I don't think it provides much benefit outside of benchmarks - Windows already has a built-in disk cache.
