I purchased and installed a Samsung 960 Evo 250GB NVMe drive and using Samsung Magician, I don't seem to be getting good results out of it. Using the performance benchmark in Magician, the 960 Evo's best results are 6,560-1,218-215,455-18,823 for sequential read-write and random IOPS read-write. In comparison, my 850 Evo 256GB was getting 6,448-1,230-246,080-19,853. The 960 also takes about 7-8 minutes to run the test while the 850 takes around 3 minutes. My 5 year old Crucial M4 256GB gets 6,103-1,210-221,875-19,303.
My 960 is currently my OS drive, the Crucial M4 still contains my old OS but is no longer a boot drive, and the 850 contains games. Am I missing something here?
