My Disk Mark score for my 960 after the driver update:

My last two tests.

I think speed scores will be different, depending on is the system patched for meltdown/spectre, what CPU one has & BIOS, is HPET turned on or not(in BIOS) or is it forced on in the OS, and other factors the effect NVMe speeds.(oh, and system background writes and reads).

This is why I don't really run any disk benchmarks, because to compare with others, it's actually meaningless, because of the above factors, I h
