So I've purchased and installed M.2 NVME SSD from Kingston 500GB. I already have a 250GB Samsung SSD as my primary on which my Windows was installed. So I ran the crystal disk mark test and got this weird result. Can someone say why my speeds are low? Please help.

By the way, I've changed my SATA mode from RST premium with optane to AHCI and ran the tests again, but still reading speeds are around 1200 mb/s. So below are my PCIe hardware details...Everything's fine, right?

Can you look at the drives section for details? Perhaps your second slot is only running at pcie 3.0 x2 and not x4
The same happened to me, I have Samsung 970 Pro and while I am using that on my laptop I am getting 50% of its original speed. Then I found out about bus lanes. My laptop has 2x lanes so the NVME speed reduced by half. Then after that, I have installed it on my computer, Boom, 100% speed as mentioned in specs. This might be the same issue.
