Installed PCI - NVME Samsung 961 SSD- Slow speeds?

[bru]

This has wind up and trap written all over it.

Certainly not intentional, so sorry if it has come across that way.

I was merely trying to say, that seeing as he is hardware limited, that he will probably never notice the difference, unless he is transferring very large files from a ramdisk or another NVM SSD. 1700 MB/s isn't exactly slow now is it. I know it is not as fast as the drive is capable of, but being limited by other components there is not a lot he can do about it without spending a shed load of cash.

I mean my self I have a Samsung 830 256GB SSD on a measly SATA 2, ( limited by my X58 board) so it only does 278MB/s but overall I never notice it being slow when copying from a a mechanical drive.

On the topic of M.2 and Z97 I have the Maximus Hero board with a 4790k and have an M.2 drive being delivered tomorrow to replace a basic 250gb Samsung 840 model that seems to be acting up a bit. What sort of numbers should it manage?
Also is it faster via pcie or the M.2 slot or is there no difference?

This is the drive I ordered: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/inte...id-state-drive-ssdpekkw256g7x1-hd-087-in.html

You'd only get full speed if you used a pcie adapter in one of the red slots.

That's fine, I've had an adapter sat in the cupboard for months so I'll use that. Thanks.
