i put a samsung 960 evo m.2 drive into this board using a m.2 to pcie adapter. it is on pcie5.

benchmark tests this around 2100-2700 MB/s, but i see people on amazon get 3000 or so. relatively speaking vs sata ssd that's still pretty fast.

i've also tested it in safe mode to try to make sure as little as possible activity is going on during a test.

on top of a slight benchmark test concern...

if i have this hooked up to a pcie slot am i sacrificing the throughput of my nvidia 1070 by occupying pcie lanes? maybe it is just a matter of which trade off you prefer.]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2020 23:48:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16220&PID=79547&title=z97-extreme4-m-2-pcie-adapter-speed#79547
