Here are mine and the 4K Read / Write seem very slow. I got the same results on both the factory installed image and on my current clean install.
Also, is it true that the left port on my G751JY is SATA III and the right port is SATA II?? Very disappointed to hear this, why in the world would ASUS put such a limitation!

Not sure what exactly is a XP941, however, below are the Benchmarks from my G751JY.
M.2 PCIe SSD Drive
SSD EVO (on steroids using RAPID Mode with 4GBs allocated only for system RAPID MEM) sitting on bay #2 but connected to Bay #1 using an ext SATA cable
Comments:
Bay #2 is in fact SATA II not SATA III. Asus released a BIOS update (BIOS 206 PCIE SSD DID/VID) 2 days ago, as soon as I have time, I am going to check if this BIOS 206 rectified the issue with bay #2, I have the feeling is now a SATA III...keeping my fingers crossed.

ELZZZORRO, you can check what device you have several ways, hwinfo64 gives lots of details, summaries, and monitors temps and performance for lots of measurements.
crystaldiskinfo gives good info as well as crystaldiskmark for benchmarking.
One trick to get more performance is gonna sound weird, but it works. Use a disk optimizer... 🙂
The G750JH/JZ when it comes out of the box does about 700MB/sec READ and 500MB/sec WRITE on it's 2 x 128GB RAID0. Merging the partitions into the C partition - more space - and using a tool like RAXCO's Perfectdisk gets the speed up to 1050MB/sec READ and 600MB/sec WRITE.
Raxco Perfectdisk - set Optimization to SmartPlacement for the first pass, select All Fragmented files then optimize, and then change it to SSDOptimize for automatic optimization maintenance.

I would be curious if it helps your AS SSD Benchmark / Crystaldiskmark benchmark numbers.
You did combine partitions into the C partition already?
Not sure what the XP941 is here's my G75VW With Samsung 850 Pro Rapid mode enabled, on a build I've had running for a few months now.
My system came with a Samsung XP941 256GB SSD: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8430/pcie-ssd-faceoff-samsung-xp941-128gb-256gb-and-ocz-revodrive-350-...
Guys for the love of GOD stop posting these stupid/fake RAPID results!
If you turn on CRAPID mode, you are not benchmarking your SSD anymore, you are benchmarking your RAM.
Translate that intro real world performance and it means absolutely nothing.
For example, test this.....
Copy a huge 10GB + video file or whatever large file you want from your C: partition to another partition on another disk......
you will notice that the Windows file copy progress finishes insanely fast.....the moment it finishes the copy, I want you to restart your system
then check that file you copied, it would be corrupt, reason is, yes the file copy progress finished fast, but it didn't finish really, all it was doing is copying the file from your RAM cache (RAPID) onto the real disk.
so it's just cheating + placebo effect
And after you read this, you will never enable RAPID again.....it will actually make your performance worse not better

Ok here is the same drive without Rapid mode your PCIe M.2 SSD is still running slow barely faster than this 2.5" SATA SSD
