Hi everyone, Just got a great deal on a brand new intel 750 series ssd. Its the 2.5 inch model and i have it plugged in with the included cable and a hyperkit riser thingy. Im just worried because when i run crystal disk mark and look at task manager im only getting about 400 MB/s. Trust me thats not slow, but ive seen videos where those are tin the thousands and i think something is either wrong with my drive or is wrong with CDM. I have looked for the NVMe comatible one and i cant find it. but i still dont know how that explains task manager telling me that im only getting 400MB/s. Any help is greatly appreciated as i dont want to send this back... Thanks!

Don't rely on task manager, use a program such as Crystal disk mark or ATTO disk benchmark to test it.

By any chance is your drive SATA and not PCIe?

what??>??

why are you looking at task manager if you're running crystaldiskmark?

crystaldiskmark is already a benchmark...it tells you the speed RIGHT ON IT

can you post a picture of crystaldiskmark after running the test?

of the CDM test or the actual drive in my pc?

 

 

The drive please.  This statement makes me think you've got the SATA drive, but are expecting PCIe speeds:

there shouldnt be a difference in speeds, they both go directly through the pcie lanes on the cpu after all.  And the test is running right now...
