Post your CrystalDiskMark speeds

Bought this new external drive for $130 to use with my Plex server. Will post more about it once everything is set up.

Just installed Samsung´s NVME driver 3.1 and got a nice bump in all tests on my 970 Evo 1TB

Don't seem to be any fast results, so thought I would post mine as an fyi. Getting good performance seems to be a challenge as the DMI is a bottleneck, and a lot of configurations do not work. I got two Samsung 970 Pros, but rather than plugging them into the M.2 slots on the motherboard (i7-9800X, Asus X299 Tuf Mark 2), I plugged them into the pci-e slots using riser cards. I tried the VROC, but even with the Standard key, it would not let me create a Raid using the VROC - it seems that you really need Intel drives for this unless you have very specific drives and motherboard. So instead, I setup raid using the Windows Storage Spaces. Interestingly, I tried Raid 0 first, and it only did 3603 MB/s read. Very disappointed as it should have been closer to 7000 MB/s. In fact, it seemed to be practically no faster than a single drive. I then changed it to Raid 1, and got the result below. Write speeds are slightly down with the Raid 1, but I am happy enough overall. Of course, my Intel Optane 905p spanks the Samsung drives in the 4KiB range - but the below drive is for storing GB files only.

@T4C Fantasy You have some black magic bro since you know the which PCIE it runs on.

This is my x58 platform PC (xeon 5670 6/12 core 4.2 MHz OC.) from 2009. It ONLY supports SATA 2 and PCIe 2.0. You must boot EFI from a USB drive to be able to use an NVMe boot drive. The speeds are not too bad for such a PC. The drive is a Toshiba kxg50znv512g NVMe drive (M.2) in a PCIe 2.0 16x slot. The drive can't reach its full potential in sequential read speeds (3000) but the PC works very snappy anyway.

This should be encouragement for all of you who are limited by the SATA 2 interface (or even SATA 3, but with that one a raid 0 array could work as well and probably take less time to configure than the EFI boot NVMe). But yes, nvme is a way to go if you have a free PCIe slot besides your video card.

Transcend PCIE 220S 1TB
SM2262EN + 3D Nand TLC (not sure which brand) + 1GB DDR3 cache and SLC cache + 800 TBW for 1TB model.
Got it during flash sale in my country for $128. Now price jump back to $150.
Very impressive 4K QD1 read and write.

Kinda loving the Evo plus right now, the write speeds are pretty decent. Got one on sale yesterday to replace my older 950 evo 25

Wanted to test on my current rig befor new X3800 build with the corsair MP600 1TB

Currently running with 2 Samsung 850 EVO 500GB and a 960 EVO 1TB the later will go in to the new system

These are my U and S disk in windows for gaming, the U disk (850 Evo) runs Asus Ramcache

The C drive uses intel rapid mode

Did som additional testing with Atto

This is my 850 Evo with ramcache
126249

This is my 960 Evo

Looking forward to test on x570 platform, hoping to reuse my memory - that currently are limited by my E6400. But also looking forward to se difference op PCIe 4.0 and Corsair MP600 versus my 960 Evo
