if i have to i will use the samsung magician to wipe the samsung ssd drive then you will see what i meanwell I have to beg to differ as you say that I have installed windows on my Samsung ssd. that is not correct I will give you the screenshots of both the Samsung ssd and the Kingston and let you see for yourself. now you are going to tell me after you see these screenshots that I have items from windows on my Samsung SSD and not on my C: drive... The M.2 SSD

From the information provided, the ATTO result on C:\ looks to be a standard SATA drive... Your Evo 860 has speeds up to 550/520 and the ATTO result shows 520/460. The Kingston drive should be a lot faster.well I have to beg to differ as you say that I have installed windows on my Samsung ssd. that is not correct I will give you the screenshots of both the Samsung ssd and the Kingston and let you see for yourself. now you are going to tell me after you see these screenshots that I have items from windows on my Samsung SSD and not on my C: drive...

I will do that for you now earthdog, but honestly how can it be even possible that I have windows installed on my Samsung SSD when there are no objects recorded only on the C: drive
but i will do a screenshot with atto and on my Samsung SSD and post the results for you... many thanks in taking your time to help me

Well, that answers that. Clearly this drive 'labeled' Samsung is NOT the Samsung. The speeds you are seeing there are obviously from the Kingston NVMe drive. Though they are lower than it is rated (but ok for the bus it is on), it is clearly a lot faster than the Evo 860 and SATA3 6 Gbps speeds.hi there ,
I named the Samsung ssd Letter G as it was not displayed when in installed my M.2 SSD in my system, but anyway I will send the screenshot to you and unfortunately I will be late giving any answers as being boxing day I am out celebrating

It is still a match, as an B+M keyed drive did in an M keyed slot, but the latter can be PCIe only, which means as in the case of the OP, the B+M keyed SATA SSD will physically fit, yet but function s it needs a SATA interface.How many A+E SSDs are there, anyway?
See the "if there is a match" fragment in what you just quoted.
I mean, the only important thing is the interfaces supported. If you have a mismatch, it won't work.
It does affect speed massively, no confusion on my part. NVMe drives need to use GPT, not MBR if you want the full performance out of them.Do not reinstall. MBR/GPT does not affect the speed. Swede had to confuse this with something else.
Please provide mentioned Crystal disk info shot.

I searched but came up empty. Got any links handy to read?It does affect speed massively, no confusion on my part. NVMe drives need to use GPT, not MBR if you want the full performance out of them.
Despite the fact there was a mixup, the Kingston NVMe drive is still at half speed, as you can see.

hi,
thank you for all the information, but before I begin is It better first to unplug my Samsung SSD drive and then first of all reboot my pc to see if earthdog is correct and that there is files written on my Samsung SSD which are Hidden " hence" showing zero objects?
I will do that and post a screenshot minus the Samsung SSD
ok I have to problem solved ..however I was confused to find that windows indeed did install on the Samsung SSD and was apparently showing up as being used by the Kingston M.2, now one more thing I now since installing windows in UEFI have now 3 partitions on my Kingston, is there any way around that to delete them so its just one physical partition?. now that I have finally installed windows on my M.2 will I notice any speed performance?

I'm really struggling to figure out why that would be. It has nothing to do with alignment so I am at a loss as to how that works....I did the mistake myself the first time I got an NVMe drive for starters, got nowhere near the full speeds of the drives until I changed to GPT.
Others here in the forum has had the same problem too.
I can't find any actual benchmark comparisons either.
It's apparently possible to convert an MBR drive to GPT without losing data.

Dont worry about the minutia. Just get windows installed on the proper drive and get them labeled properly moving forward.me too anyway now I have that figured out how fast should it be at installing windows from usb to the M.2 drive?

Leave them. Windows does this for a reason.here is a screen shot as you see now that my C: drive is now the Kingston as I unplugged my other two hdd's before installing, now as you see I have now 3 partitions? is there a way of deleting these so I can have the M.2 SSD as a whole windows C: drive

You're asking us? Lol, you should know, friend! Do you know how to figure it out? If so, post screenshots, if not, look back at what we asked of you previously and how it should perform...(to spell it out, run atto on c:\ and see if it performs as it should on your system).ok thank you both, so now officially I am actually using my M.2 SSD as my boot drive?
