Having problems with a Samsung PM961 M.2 ssd connected to the M.2 port on the mobo, in the bios it shows Sata Port5/M.2 - not present, but I am able to select it from a list of boot options, any way to fix this?
Ran some tests using AS SSD Benchmark app, CrystalDiscMark 5 & Samsung Magician 4.9.7 & read times dont seem much better than my old 840 evo, but the write speeds look way off compared to the 840 & the 4K test took ages to complete on the AS SSD app.
The PM961 isnt supported by the Samsung Magician software so it seems.
Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be & how to fix it?
Pic's of test results below, 3x M.2 tests & 3x 840 Evo tests (without being optimised by magician software & no rapid mode) With rapid mode enabled on the 840 its performance is way faster.
I was expecting the M.2 to be way faster than the 840 evo... :/
My system, MSI mobo Z97 Gaming 7 MS-7916, latest bios 1.C0. Samsung PM961 M.2 ssd, Samsung 840 evo ssd, Intel i5 4670K cpu, 8gb ddr3 2400mhz ram. Windows 10.
