HELP! SSD NVME Adata

Hi guys,

 

Could do with a little bit of help if anyone has encountered a similar issue. I just bought myself an 'Adata 1TB SX8200 PNP'

 

Now the issue is read/write speeds. I'm pulling 1507MB/s Read and 1392MB/s Write under Sequential.

 

It appears that it is in x2 mode instead of x4? flicking through forums etc, i've seen some people have the option in the bios to switch, but I do not.

Although it does show current link as 2 and not 4. But the link speed is 8T/s with a max of 8T/s? is it possible that the speed is limiting the multiplier?

 

Friend has the same m2 and its running at 4x on a z170 board.

 

Is it possible (considering the 7700k has 16 PCI lanes available..

 

My Equipment:

 

Intel I7 7700k

MSI Z270 SLI 'Pro' Bios     Version: E7A59IMS.1A0

16gb DDR4 G Skill Ram 3600 (2x8gb)

Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super

1Tb Adata 1TB SX8200 PNP

 

Ill try get some images and attach them, seem to be stuck in email space!

Are you copying from one drive to the other? Since Intel consumer CPU platforms have all M.2 slot connected to the chipset, itself only getting PCIe 3.0 x4 worth of bandwidth thtough DMI 3 connection, you can never hit max PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth on the SSDs.

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

I've been benchmarking through 'AS SSD'

 

Does that explain the same ssd running on a different pc at 4x? that's a 6700k chip?

 

Losing my mind ahaha

Some SATA ports will conflict with a M.2 drive, if using the M2_2 socket. You can check link speed/mode with CrystalDiskInfo.

i've got various programs that read the speed and settngs. It's saying the current is x2 and max is x4, so its not running the best it can, but i cant see any way to change the multiplier. ive got nothing in the other sata ports. ive even tried plugging hardrives into port 5/6 which should (from what i've read) conflict with the m2, but still no change. Im thinking its perhaps a motherboard issue?

don't have an option like that. im running msi, surely it can't be that difficult? or does everyone just accept that it is what it is?
