So I recently bought an ssd mentioned in the title and when I installed it and ran crystal disk mark it only shows 800mb/s and I got the SM2262ENG controller which is the good one and I don't understand the reason. Using an asus b450 plus mobo, ryzen 5 3600 if it helps.

Is it under a heatsink, or just 'bare'? That seems kinda expected if the drive is thermal throttling.

That drive was introduced in 2018.
Nothing against it for age, but that would imply a larger lithography and more power-hungry design.
[The 2016 Samsung PM963 is still one of my favorite drives, but also the only NVMe I've managed to 'cook' by accident.]

In my experience, (as 'rule of thumb') if it has DRAM Cache, the controller/drive is 'fast and hot enough' to need more cooling than a thermal-spreading label.

If it is 'bare':
Thermalright makes a great line-up of affordable M.2 cooler. I'd highly recommend one of them.








^All, under $10/unit.
