Hi guys. I think it's in my sig (I will check and update if not), but I have a 1GB SX8200 Pro as my OS and downloads drive in the CPU nvme lane slot on the mobo, and the GAMIX 2GB (same chip I think, just comes with the heatsink) on the bottom slot as my game install drive.
I won't post the pics as it's a simple explanation, but I get the advertised speed for both when doing a test, the test everyone uses, around 3GB/s read and almost that in write. No matter what's happening on my system, I get top speeds and all the numbers match what I see on reviewers videos.
However, when transferring files from one to the other, it maxes out at 1.2GB/s, like it's capped, it goes to that right away and stays there for the duration, whether I'm sending 50GB of a single file, or 50 1GB files. Now, this speed is still very good and I don't mind really, I just wonder if there's something going on or if anyone may have suggestions. I doubt it's a bios setting as the test says I get full speeds but who knows.
Oh, part 2, while I'm at it, for the virtual file, I had it set for windows managed C drive only, but when I noticed that I set it to windows managed for both drives (The 6GB spinner is disabled for virtual memory). Is that good? Should I use both, windows managed, or do like the old days and set a min/max?
