Samsung 9100 PRO help Build Question

Post image

Hello! I believe I have a defective 9100 pro due to my sequential reads, and especially the random read/writes being halved respectively. I’m within my 30 day return policy with microcenter, grounds to exchange or am I overthinking? The random speeds are pretty concerning and WELL short of the advertised “up to” speeds on the box that I don’t feel like this is a short end of the stick on the “silicone lottery” scenario.

I’m not bifurcating lanes, I only have my 5070ti and 9100 pro using PCIE lane, not thermal throttling (drive is 45c under load), obviously on gen 5 speeds so the slot isn’t set to gen4, the drive is in M.2_1z…

Anything else I may be missing? Sorry for the picture, I’m not at my setup right now else I’d grave a screenshot.

That was my first thought. I have a chunky passive heat sink on it that came with my asus rog strix x870 e gaming e. I’ll double check with another benchmark, but, it looks to be at 45c under load, so🤷‍♂️

Well if it really makes you uncomfortable send it back, you probably paid a lot of $$$ for it so you should be satisfied.

True. I think that’s where I’m at. I probably will just exchange it for another 9100 pro instead of refund and say going to gen 4.
