So how about this little drive:p. Its a ramdisk i made for fun:D. While these speeds is still impossible to get on a M.2 NVMe SSD. In a near future it will be possible, because with introduction of PCIe Gen 4 speeds up to 8000 MB/s shut be possible. Its just when manufactures after PCIe gen 4 can get the M.2 NVMe SSD speeds up there. Im sure sooner or later they will get it up there.

Something different; my HP Stream 11. Information on this drive is sparse, and CrystalDiskInfo doesn't recognize it. I'm not an expert when it comes to drive interfaces.

To solidify my spot at the bottom of the chart, I present the epitome of storage technology... from 12 years ago.

60GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 PATA 7200RPM 8MB cache

I like how CrystalDiskInfo can't even display the power on hours correctly.

Reallocated sectors are bad sectors methinks. That Maxtor has over 800 of them.

Something different again, an AHCI SSD.

My dad bought this from someone a while ago and it arrived today. He told me to test it. It's plugged into the 8x slot on my motherboard using this adapter.

256GB Samsung SM951 AHCI M.2 SSD

I guess AHCI drives are pretty rare, since CrystalDiskInfo doesn't recognize it as that.

...AHCI...CrystalDiskInfo doesn't recognize it as that.
It does though. Serial ATA interface implies AHCI(or IDE). As opposed to NVMe.

How you're able to get those speeds with SATA III is beyond me though. How is more than 600 MB/s possible with SATA/600? W T F over?! :confused:

EDIT: Apparently the later versions of that drive are NVMe. Which are substantially faster than yours. Yours should be around the same speed as the PM871 SATA. :wtf:
