NVME is slow after cloning?

[kaddle]

i cloned my HDD to a new NVME and it is definitely faster. i haven't experienced any lag from the disk which is a huge improvement.

the problem is i barely see the read/write speed exceed 100 mb/s. it just doesn't feel like it's as fast as it's supposed to be.

 

also, when steam was downloading something a while ago the download speed didn't exceed 3.3 mb/s of write speed, which is exactly the download speeds i had when using my HDD. my HDD is disconnected from the motherboard.

strangely enough, my ethernet reported download speeds of over 25 mb/s.

 

is this normal or is my NVME slow for some reason?

How do you measure it?

If you copy from the HDD, yes the read and write will be dictated by the HDD max performance.

Download speed is related to the internet speed not the storage.

i just look at the stats in the task manager.

how do i change it so that the speed is not dictated by the max performance of the previous drive?

 

to be more accurate, steam was updating a game. i believe the 3.3mb/s was reflecting how fast it was writing the update to the SSD. my ethernet stats in task manager was showing over 25mb/s during that time.

Thats not how you measure its performance. Try crystaldiskmark.

3.3 MB/s is equal to / around  25 mbps.

Thats your internet speed not the ssd speed.
