Just purchased a Kingston SHPM2280P2-480G M.2 SSD and have it installed directly on my MB (in its M.2 connector), and as per the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H manual I do not have any hard drives plugged into SATA3 4/5 Connectors. I also do not have any cards plugged into the MB...so I am confused as to why I am not getting the speeds shown on the Kingston SHPM2280P2-480G overclockers.com review. BTW M.2 slot is set to 4x.

Here is a picture of the Anvil score for the drive as reviewed by overclockers.com:

Can anyone speculate why my Kingston SHPM2280P2-480G is running slower than the one reviewed?

Thanks,

Well, as it turns out, the M.2 slot on the Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H is only rated to 10 Gb/s...so I'm off to get a mother board with a M.2 slot rated for 20 Gb/s. Any suggestions?

It's a very very hard board to beat at that price range.
You'll enjoy it, I kept one around for benching after reviewing it for quite a while.

Only reason I got rid of it was because I got an awesome deal on a Z87 OC Formula, which is built for benching.
 
Just built my ASRock Z97 Extreme6 and installed the Kingston SHPM2280P2/480G ATA M2 SSD using the Ultra M.2 slot.

Board works like a charm and the thru put of the Kingston is as advertised. Thanks to all those who provided assistance in solving my problem.
