   Hi Everyone,
Having a little trouble with a newly purchased Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD plugged into my ASRock X99m Fatal1ty motherboard.

Specs:
i7 5820K
ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer Motherboard (latest bios 3.30)
16GBx4 AData DDR4-2400 RAM
Gigabyte GTX970
Generic 500w PSU
Intel 180GB SSD (windows 7 & boot)
WD 1TB Black (storage)
WD 4TB Purple (storage)

The NVMe SSD is not being used as a boot drive and has about 20GB of files on there, that I have been using for testing. 
Samsung NVMe driver 2.3 is installed.

The read speeds seem fine, but the write speeds are way off.

I am just wondering if there are some BIOS settings I am missing or have set incorrectly or... is my SSD faulty?

	I may have fixed the problem. It was as simple as Enabling Write Caching on the NVMe drive.
