Copy ATTO to it, run it off it and select it as the drive to test in the dropdown. http://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/atto_disk_benchmark.html Aye, like I said they don't show up like SATA drives. At some point the drive will probably be renamed to something like "Windows boot mgr" once you have installed Windows onto it.
I'm going to keep windows on my Sata drive for now, I'm tempted at some point to use the M2 for boot but I'm not sure if it will be bootable.
M2ssd by CrapBag posted 7 May 2020 at 17:36 Dont know if that is good or not, bottom numbers look low but maybe thats ok. It still wont boot automatically into windows I have to go into the bios and choose boot over ride for my 840EVO, it isnt there in the normal boot options.
Solved the boot issue it wasnt showing in the normal boot list as i hadnt selected it as the 1st in the BBS priority list. That seems to have fixed it but I dont know why it changed in the first place.
Looks like it is probably using 2 lanes or it's not a very fast drive which if cheap is fair enough, still plenty quick.
sequential reads/writes up to 2,000/1,700 MB/s Its way faster than my Evo though, to be honest I'm happy with that if its down to me using it on outdated hardware.
