    1.4 GBs read and 1.3 GBs write connected to PCIe 2.0 x4
    5 Stars
    1.4 GBs read and 1.3 GBs write connected to PCIe 2.0 x4
    Update2:2.5 years and still working perfectly. Super product. Moved to an external case and then to new pc. It always worked as expected.UPdate:PCIe x4 nvme expansion card connected to the NorthBridge increased the read speed by about 20%. Now 1.72 GBs read and 1.51 GBs write speed. This is probably the maximum speed that PCIe 2.0 will ever reach. The RX470 performs the same at x8 as it did at x16 so adding the x4 expansion card in the second x16 (x8 with both x16 used) did not affect the video speed. Still 100% satisfied.------------Functions as expected. It is attached to a PCIe 2.0 x4 M.2 socket that is connected to a 950 southbridge so it is limited to about 75% of the a3 link (max 2.0 GBs) due to all the other devices being attached to the SB (14 usb 2.0, 6 SATA3, GB network, PCI etc.). So I expected a maximum read speed maximum of about 1.5 GBs.Another person with the same motherboard posted a much lower score and that is probably due to their PC being configured improperly. My case is just about maxed out with 2 SSD, 4 HDD, PCIe hdd/usb3 controller for the DVD, Samsung 960 M.2, and RX470. MB and Video are overclocked for new games 5GHZ+ and 15%, older games 4.9GHZ and 5%. Older games have problems when the CPU is over 4.9 GHZ or video over 9.5%. New games run just fine at 5 GHZ and 15%.Samsung's program shows 1.4 GBs read and 1.3 GBs write with IOPS 115k and 101K.Crystalmark shows a similar benchmark 1.4 GBs read and 1.3 GBs write.Only way to get it to function faster is with a PICe add-in card so that it would be attached to the nothbridge. It would probably function at 90%+ of the pcie 2.0 x4 capacity of 2GBs. There is no way to get PCIe 3.0 speed of 4GBs (3.2 actual) from a PCIe 2.0 connection. An impractical solution to getting a faster data transfer rate would be to purchase a PCIe 2.0 x8 raid controller and attach 8 0.5GBs SSDs running in a Stripe 0 configuration (is that possible?).I am very satisfied with the 1.3GBs speed of the Samsung 960.PC:ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura ATX DDR3 AM3+FX-8370ARCTIC Liquid Freezer 240Enermax Ostrog ADV Mid Tower Computer Case with Revolution DUO 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Power Supply inside (Limited Edition), ECA3380AS-BL(w/PSU)ASUS PCE-AC55BT B1 Wireless-AC1200 Bluetooth 4.2 PCIe/mPCIe adapterADATA XPG V1 DDR3 2133MHz (PC3 17000) 16GB (8GBx2) Memory Modules, Red (AX3U2133W8G10-DR)PowerColor AMD Radeon RED DEVIL RX 480 4GB GDDR5 DL-DVI-D / HDMI / DP x3 PCI-Express 3.0 Graphics CardSamsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E250BW)Transcend 4-port PCI Express USB/Serial ATA Combo Adapter
