How are you measuring - Samsung Magician? It says I already have the latest 3B7QCXE7 firmware installed. I only bought the device in early February.

Sequential:
  Read: 3,132 MB/s
  Write: 1,531 MB/s

Random:
  Read: 124,023 IOPS
  Write: 113,525 IOPS

Now, why did I ever bother running that test? I was happy until I did. I still am with the Sequential results but why am I only getting half your IOPS. Ouch

NVMe driver is Samsung's 2.3.0.1709 dated 12/10/2017.

Me too, under Disk drives. Under Storage controllers I get the Samsung NVMe one I mentioned.
