Omen 17 w001la

Hola amigos tengo en mi laptop hp omen instalada una M.2  

XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 con lectura y escritura de 3,500 Y 3,000 MB/S pero después de hacer los test vi que se queda corta la velocidad, la puede estar limitando el conector de la mobo?

Hi:

 

Yes, that is very possible.

 

On some of those older PC's where the M.2 slot supports both NVMe and SATA SSD's, the slot is PCIe 3.0 x 2 and not x4, which would cause a NVMe SSD to run at approximately 1/2 of its maximum advertised read/write speeds.

 

This table shows the maximum transfer speeds each PCIe slot generation can provide:

I know this is true of the 15-da0xxx model series which also supports both NVMe and SATA SSD's, and several folks have made that observation that their NVMe SSD's are running way below the advertised read/write speeds.

 

The good news is the speeds you're getting from the NVMe SSD are still around 3x faster than any SATA SSD can provide.
