NVME SSD Speed lower than expectations

On a side note, what do you guys do with your old parts when you upgrade them? Like GPU, motherboard etc.

Mine are all in working condition which is why i'm not buying new ones yet but i feel that it's a waste since they still can be used but i have to keep them at one corner and then buy newer ones

If the parts still perform relatively well then sell for cheap on Carousell OR give them away to friends or relatives

Have you tried placing your Nvme ssd in the PCI 3.0 x16 slot using a PCI adapter? I bought a Samsung 970 Evo plus 500 Gb last week and plug into my motherboard (MSI H97 pc mate) via the above method since the motherboard lacks M.2 slot and I get Sequential read speed of 3200 Mbps and write speed of 2900 Mbps. The graphics card i just place in it a PCI 2.0 x16 with minimal impact the display since I am not a gamer.

Yea i've read about the PCI adapters, but since i don't really need that speed now (just concerned whether i've bought a faulty one or just that my motherboard can't support the supposed speed) i will just wait till i get a new motherboard

You're on a good upgrade path!

You sure you don't want to squeeze that extra out of your motherboard before the upgrade. Th PCI adapter is less then a trip to McDonald's, hee... Hee...
