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.  |
