Hi, I really appreciate that you took the time to take a look. It's not a big deal; I imagine that it works as intended otherwise. Thanks again!

Email has been sent with the regular debug file.

I found that odd as well that it had two different speeds. To shed more light, I am using an ASRock RomeD8-2T motherboard, it has 7 PCie 4.0 slots. I have the Samsung PM1733 ssd connected to slot 1 using a U.2 to PCie adapter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D2PXUAQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) . It states it should support PCie 4.0 speeds if the slot supports it; and as previously mentioned, the windows VM reported the expected speeds so I wouldn't think the interface would be the limit. I am conflicted with the results from the different tests ranging from 800MB/s in the disk speed docker, all the way to 6GB/s+ within a windows VM which makes it difficult to know which result to trust and use as a baseline to troubleshoot. I could potentially try another adapter if you have any solid recommendations.

Ah, thank you for following up then! I am not sure how long I needed to run the test so I stopped when there was no improvement. Here are the results of test 1: root@Tower:~# dd if=/dev/nvme0n1p1 of=/dev/null bs=1310720 skip=0 iflag=direct conv=noerror status=progress 43972034560 bytes (44 GB, 41 GiB) copied, 32 s, 1.4 GB/s^C 33920+0 records in 33919+0 records out 44458311680 bytes (44 GB, 41 GiB) copied, 32.3474 s, 1.4 GB/s Here are the results of test 2: root@Tower:~# dd if=/mnt/disks/Sam4tb/Test.mkv of=/dev/null bs=1310720 skip=0 iflag=direct conv=noerror status=progress 22972989440 bytes (23 GB, 21 GiB) copied, 11 s, 2.1 GB/s 18570+1 records in 18570+1 records out 24340223273 bytes (24 GB, 23 GiB) copied, 11.5635 s, 2.1 GB/s Here is the drive listed using 'df' /dev/nvme0n1p1 3748905808 49940604 3698965204 2% /mnt/disks/Sam4tb I hope I ran these tests correctly. Please let me know if these results are expected or if there is anything else I can provide,

Thank you for your feedback The pm1733 drive had been formatted prior to the test if that makes a difference. I'll just assume that the drive works as intended for now.

Pardon if this is a silly question, but how reliable are the figures provided by the benchmark? I have two nvme SSDs and one has results which match its specs, while the other is horrible. Samsung 970 Evo Plus shows between 2500-3000 MB/s which is expected Samsung PM1733 shows between 700-850MB/s which is horrible compared to its claimed 7000MB/s spec. The odd thing is that I passed it through to a windows VM and ran AS ssd benchmark and showed reasonable results around 6700MB/s. I am just curious to know whether its an error of the plugin and just ignore its result or not. Thank you in advance
