4x is the appropriate number of lanes for an nvme drive, so are you sure Samsung software is not reporting 4x per drive?
If you halve Matts read speed that is what you should see from a high end NVMe (his is double because of Raid0 )
Edit- read the thread you linked and see people are seeing half the rate, sorry.

I don't think i have that issue judging by the scores i am getting.
Interesting... Looks good on your side indeed!
Can you check that particular setting in the UEFI/Samsung software?
Your board is REV 1.01, correct?
Thx

Samsung Magician does not detect my drives as they are in a Raid 0 array. Is there another way to check?
As far as i am aware, yes its the first revision board.
Does the board need to be set to something like 4/4 or have an option for PCIe bifurcation, for example on my board I can put 4 NVMe into a PCIe card but have to set the slot to be 4/4/4/4, it is called something like PCIe lane bifurcation?

New bios out for the Asus Prime X399-A. I know people say don't upgrade unless you have issues but the release comes with a mention of "improve system performance". That's me sold on trying it

Tried it, in CINEBENCH multicore it's actually down in performance very slightly but not tried anything else.

Has NVME Raid support been added in this one?

Any TR folks with Sammy 960 Pro drives having performance issues? Since the 3B6 firmware that had a serious problem for some owners with freezing, mine has been okay but I've noticed the Random IOPS reported by Magician are way down on what they originally were. Anyone else noticed this? Random IOPS read and write are both < 65,000 where they were 300,000+ originally.
Motherboard is Asus x399-A.
Here's a screenshot, latest 4B6 firmware and Magician 5.2
UPDATE: Managed to resolve this. Made quite a few changes but think setting back to AMD Optimised power settings resolved it. Also reinstalled the chipset drivers but suspect it was the power settings change.

Run it stock and get your system memory stable before playing with anything else, try a faster pump speed perhaps, the block might need better flow rate.

What motherboard do you have out of interest? And what memory?

NVME raid in the latest Asus X399-A bios (0503) for those who have the board and interested. I remember a few doubting if it would be added, I think.

Have tested this on mine - one thing to be aware of - you seem to be forced to destroy all existing arrays before you can start to use NVME RAID. Looking through some of the other stuff in the BIOS I think the board should definately work with that ASUS Hyper M2 (4xM2) card now.

Zenith Bios 0901 (Agesa 1.0.0.4)
Raid 0 2x Samsung 960 Pro
AMD Raid Driver 9.02.00.023
AMD Chipset 18.10b
THe new bios for the Zenith featuring Agesa 1.0.0.5 (can't remember the exact version but it was the second version to fix bugs in the first version) performed really badly for me in games, giving stuttering where there was none before.
I also noticed the recent Windows 10 updates knocked 1500MB off the read speed of my Raid setup so i removed those. Took a few hours of troubleshooting and changing Bios, services and settings before i narrowed down the cause of the performance drop.

Decent write up (though a bit over the top) regarding the use of AM4 coolers on the TR4 chips - short version; don't bother using AM4 coolers with an adapter if you can help it.

At least you got an update -= Gigabyte X399 is still on Agesa 1.0.0.3
