That's the WD SN520 512GB specification.
What's your motherboard model?

Did you install the drivers?

It's a notebook with M.2 SSD / PCIe NVMe, PCIe 3.0 x 2, 16Gb/s

correct me if i am wrong, there is no driver for nvme storage and i cant even find one?

If you confirm your slot is with PCIE gen3 x2 speed, then should be other issue.

I know for samsung SSDs got lah =D

Other brand you need check for yourself =D

I'm planning to upgrade my current m.2 NVME 1TB setup by adding another 1TB 2.5" SSD to store games (Steam, Origin etc).

What's a good 2.5" SSD 1TB brand out there? Specifically value for money ones. Thanks LYN!

Crucial MX500

NVMe Samsung 950 Pro 1TB & WD SN850 1TB is the best so far, tested both.

Intel SSD 660P 1TB. Reliable for storage. I had 2TB version for external drive.

Get 2TB instead. Then you won't have to worry about running out of space
Unless you're the type who just install lots of games to make it seems like your PC has a lot of games ready to be played but most of the time you don't actually play all of them

Haha. Games collection are quite large, especially the EA Play games (Currently playing a lot of sports games). Not including personal & family pictures / videos as well.

2TB might be required, but looking at the current pricing, not much of a different getting 1TB now and then adding another one later. I think so? Or am I not making any sense haha.

Photos & videos just use HDD lar, no need SSD

Can consider. ITX build, too compact haha.

I think I'll get a Crucial MX500 1TB just to standby. The NVME almost full

I copy 40GB of data from my external SSD into my PC SSD. the copy window data transfer rate looks like this. what does it mean? is it normal?

For NVME and value, How about SX8200 Pro. Some might worry about the change of slower controller. I took a leap of faith with the 2TB, fortunately it came with the original controller. Heard that it affect the 1TB model though.

At first it is max speed as the files that being read but not yet written is placed in cache first, due to the actual write speed is slower. After the cache is full then it will show the actual write speed. Cache can be either DRAM on SSD or PC's RAM, depends on your SSD model.

What is the average top speed and the average slow speed? What's your PC's SSD model?

didn't check the speed (exact values). Patriot Burst 240GB.

What do you think if I upgrade my current 1TB NVME to SX8200 Pro 2TB? Then the current 1TB NVME put in a casing as an external drive?

ok this
