Hello Everyone.
I hope everyone is doing well...
Recently acquired a best buy GU603HM. This has the I9-11900H and a 3060 graphics card.
This laptop is supposed to be PCIe Gen 4 and according to CPUZ it is.
I installed a pair of 980Pro 2 TB Drives. I was able to clone properly the factory system into this RAID array using paragon-software. Laptop boots fine and no real issues.
When running crystal mark 7.0 I am getting the following read/write speeds.
https://prnt.sc/1qvorgfI find this to be half of what you would expect from these drives.
What are the possible situations?
Is it that one of the PCIe M.2 Slots is Gen 3 and the other is Gen 4?
For a laptop that supports raid from the bios, this would seem like a bad choice, but I have seen it in other laptops.
If this is the case, then you are losing performance as apparently you get a loss in performance in the random category when using raid 0 with M.2 SSDs.
Any advice would be welcome.
I like this machine but it could be a deal breaker and getting the AMD Advanced would be the way to go.
