Hi Folks,

I've just installed an M.2 drive and thought I'd see how fast it was. Below is the result for the new P1 but what confuses me is that my old 860 EVO smokes the newer drive. Is this correct as everything I've read says the 860 should only be around 500ish MB/s.

Crucial M.2 P1 1TB.

Definitely something dodgy going on with the Samsung benchmark there. Far too fast to be accurate.

Don't know if they still do it, but Samsung had some sort of boost mode that played with benchmarks didn't it?
 
You were spot on there.
I forgot that I have Samsung Magician enabled which has a "rapid mode". Turned it off and figures dropped to what they should be.
