SSD performance under win 10
Hello,
recently I upgrades and my PC and installed new SSD Nvme drive: KINGSTON SA2000M8250G
Crystal Disk Info shows PCIe 3.0 x4 | PCIe 3.0 x4 under Transfer mode, and NVM Express 1.3 as Standard.
When benchmark in the HD Tune, the read speed is about 800 MB/s. Trim is turned ON.
This PC has a dual boot with Linux Mint and if I use its disk benchmark, I get something like 2000 MB/s.
When I go in the Device manager in windows I can see Intel)R= 300 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller under IDE/ATAPI controllers and there are two items under Storage controllers: Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller and Standard NVM Express controller.
Details from the device manager are shown in the attached pictures. However, I see that SATA drivers are from 2018 and NVM Express is from year 2006.
Updating the drivers through Windows Update doesn't update them.
So, I have the following questions:
1. Is average read speed about 800 MB/s is realistic for this drive under Windows 10 64 bit?
2. Is there any way to update the drivers? There are nod windows 10 drivers on the Kingston web site tha I can install?
Thank you!
