Hi. My boots are super slow compared to my intel machine. Windows 10 boots in 30+ seconds. on the intel box it's less than 5 sec to desktop. also nvme speeds are absolute garbage, 50MB/s sustained while the very same drive does 900MB/s sustained in my intel rig. SPECS: amd: ryzen 2700x, x470 taichi, 16gb gskill 3200mhz cl4, intel 600p nvme 1tb ssd intel: 9900k, gigabyte z390 aorus master, 32gb corsair 3000mhz, intel 600p nvme 1tb ssd. it really bothers me. i have the latest windows, fresh install, updates, latest bios for my amd mb. Is there a guru in the house ? |

A ground up fresh install while on a MB wouldn't do this. Sure it's not cloned? Alignment? What BIOS is the MB running? |

Something doesn't add up. Even my old Taichi had 15s in UEFI, with no fast boot options enabled whatsoever. SSD speeds are crazy too. Before we tear it all down you may want to use HWINFO or similar and check all PCIe bus widths, DDR channel configuration and timigs, etc. You also would need the latest chipset driver for your X470. IDK how good are intel's NVMe drivers, but usually Windows' own one is good enough. |

doesnt add up. here's hwinfo info https://postimg.cc/gallery/1ap62a0ey/ it seems ok to me. i have the latest chipset driver for my x470 from amd.com/drivers (18.50) released on 4/22/2019 |

Can you check if your SSD is reported as PCIe 3.0 x4 on your AMD system? Wild guess here - maybe you DO need the intel NVMe driver for the AMD platform? It's worth a shot. Another thing to try would be CMOS clear, PSID revert under Linux LiveCD, create just 1 large partition, and run some benchmarks while in the same live session. |

Tell me something please. Windows key + R >type msinfo32 > scroll to Storage > click on Disks > center the 600p in the window so it shows all data > grab a screensot of that that is readable and post it here Current 600P Firmware for your drive is 121C. Is that what Intel's SSD Drive Toolbox reports? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/products/94922/memory-and-storage/consumer-ssds/intel-ssd-600p-series.html Lastly which M.2 position is this drive mounted to on the MB? If M2_1 and you've installed that blasted heatsink over it, take it off! . |

I thought it is. since hwinfo reports it as being gen 3 x4 at x4 to be frank i had intel driver installed and uninstalled. it made no difference. i know because under device manager - storage controllers instead of standard nvm express controller as it is now it was intel something. no change. linux related, i booted into linux mint 19.1 which is the latest and the speed is somewhat similar, 65MB/s sustained, instead of 50 as it is in windows. I updated bios yesterday to 3.20 so it got cmos cleared. psid related, i never encrypted anything. it's the first time i hear about psid too. |

Apologies. i was tired and made a typo. it's a 660p drive. sorry for making that mistake. regarding the screenshot, here's the actual text : Description Disk drive Manufacturer (Standard disk drives) Model INTEL SSDPEKNW010T8 Bytes/Sector 512 Media Loaded Yes Media Type Fixed hard disk Partitions 1 SCSI Bus 0 SCSI Logical Unit 0 SCSI Port 3 SCSI Target ID 0 Sectors/Track 63 Size 953.86 GB (1,024,203,640,320 bytes) Total Cylinders 124,519 Total Sectors 2,000,397,735 Total Tracks 31,752,345 Tracks/Cylinder 255 Partition Disk #3, Partition #0 Partition Size 953.85 GB (1,024,191,365,120 bytes) Partition Starting Offset 16,777,216 bytes I had the latest intel ssd toolbox, tried to up the firmware, already had latest firmware, did an optimize, no change. regarding slots, i tested both. the one closest to the cpu and the other one. with or without heatsink mnade no difference, max drive temps rarely reached 40 C. it's not overheating. |

Updating BIOS doesn't automatically clear CMOS. In fact, a good practice is to clear the CMOS before updating the BIOS. You won't believe how much junk is left over from BIOS to BIOS, if you don't clear CMOS. |

update. i decided to nuke the drive in linux with dd, then reboot to windows and let it initialize and default format it and all. It works fine now.. I can't say for sure what the problem was. Thank you all for the support. |

The same should have been achieved by the PSID revert, hence my suggestion. |
