I have installed an M.2 SSD, the Samsung XP941 MZHPU512HCGL-00000.
HWInfo shows the M.2 SSD as being installed with a 6Gb/s SATA controller. See attached screenshots. From what I understand, this was to be installed as a M.2 PCIe.
I would like to know if HWiNFO is capabale of identifying an M.2 SSD PCIe card or is the technology so new that it just classifies it as SATA 6Gb/s?
This is especially important to me as I have been experiencing problems with this M.2 SSD as it operated 50% slower than my SATA SSD as well as my HDD. So I am wondering if there was an installation problem where they somehow did not activate the PCIe and therefore the drive is operating poorly.
My motherboard is an Asus X99-Deluxe running with a 5960X CPU and a single Nvidia GTX980 GPU.
Any insights into this would be much appreciated!
