I have just finished my new build and I was very disappointed in the results of my efforts and choosing the Steel Legend. I just installed my PNY 2 Tb NVME ssd in the top and supposedly fasted cpu connected M.2 slot and tried my first transfer from onboard M.2 to sata WD SSD and it did only 25 mbs better than transferring from my mechanical hard drive. 200 mbs. I am used to these drives obtaining 350 - 380 mbs with USB-C and onboard over 1 gig per second. Is there something I need to change in my bios or is this the limiot of this board? Have I wasted my time? I could do better booting from external USB c drive.
I have used an AMD Ryzen 3600x with 2x8 16 gig Crucial Ballistix 3600 MHz DDR4 DRAM.
Any help would be appreciated.

Bagman1972,

A few things come to mind to look at. First thing I would check is the BIOS version of the motherboard. There is a recent update, dated August 6th. That update may adjust something with speed. The second thing to check is if PNY has a firmware update for the SSD. Some manufacturers put out firmware updates to resolve some issues with their disks.

The next thing I would try is using CrystalDisk Info tools. CrystalDisk Info will show the details on your SSD, so you can be sure it is operating as expected, PCIe 4, etc. CrystalDisk Mark will perform speed tests against the various disks in your PC. That should give you a picture of the performance. I remember with CrystalDisk Mark, I needed to increase the number of threads to get accurate write results.

Finally, I would use tools such as CrystalDisk Info, HWInfor64, or others, to monitor disk temperature. As the NVMe SSDs get hot, they throttle their speed to avoid damage. You will want to know what your temperatures are.
