Hello DLam0,

Thank you for contacting the Intel Communities.

The performance of the SSD would depend on several factors to achieve it's best performance scores. Please review the following data to work on that matter.

-If the SSD is used as boot drive, the performance is going to be affected a bit (the results you see on the website were done with the drive as secondary)

-The scores or performance you get can change from one system to the other

-In order to look for the best settings on the OS and hardware, you may refer to the evaluation guide on the link below

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/memory-and-storage/IntelOptaneSSD_900P_SeriesEvalGuide.PDF

That can be used to test it out with the recommended configurations.

I hope I can hear back from you with the results.

Thank You Esteban,

I reviewed the document provided. I was using PCI 2.0 instead PCIe 3. slot :).

Much better now..
