Hey there Zariadres :)

 

Make sure the SSD sin't sharing any bandwidth with anything plugged on the PCIe ports. Try running the benchmark without the GPU.

Check the notes at the bottom of this link

Contacting the support of the motherboard manufacturer can be useful here. :)

So I've just set up my rig with the following specs:

 

CPU : 6800k

Motherboard: Asus Deluxe II

GPU : Gtx 1080 founders edition

Ram : 32gb ddr4 3200mhz

Storage: 1 WD Blue 3 TB

               2x 850 Evo 250 GB (Raid)

               1x 950 EVO m.2 ssd Samsung 256 GB

 

The HDD and regular SSDs seem to work perfectly fine while the m.2 ssd is working absolutely abysmall. 

 

Does anyone know what the problem might be? I got my OS installed on the m.2 ssd

Hey thanks for your answer but I figured it out already. Apparently the m.2 ssd has its own driver different from other hard drives. Thanks tho

Hey, glad to see you've resolved it! Drivers are often cause of bad performance so checking if the OS and all the drivers are updated and if all the parts have their own drivers should be one of the first thing to check if you doubt the performance of your storage drives.

 

Post back if you have other questions or issues!
