But my m.2 only reads and writes around 500mb/s , i saw others having very similar build and their score were above 1000mb/s anyone could help?

I tried downloading the samsung drivers from samsung magician but nothing happend.

You seem to be running the M.2 Slot in SATA Mode, try changing it to PCIe though you have to sacrifice 2 SATA ports when you do that and maybe It's in SATA mode because you're already using those SATA ports so it can't run in PCIe Mode, it's in the manual

Your M.2 socket is limited to x2 PCIe 2.0 speeds. After encoding and overhead, this is a maximum of around 900 MB/s. At 250GB the actual TLC (non-SLC) write speeds are probably around 300 MB/s.

If it was running in SATA mode it wouldn't work...

I had problems with my X99 motherboard back in the day, because of the motherboard's M2 socket.

 

Buy one of these and you are good to go:
