I'm curious what other folks results are using the NVMe SSD drives in an external enclosure. I find that on any system I've tried them on, I only get about a maximum of around 350MB-400MB transfer rates. While that's not bad, I see people posting about 1000MB and higher transfer rates.
My motherboard claims a 20Gb USB 3.2 port, my case has the special shielded cable leading to the USB-C socket, and I've loaded the latest Gigabit drivers for my motherboard. I've tried two NVMe enclosures of different brands, both claiming to be USB 3.2 Gen 2 capable. Obviously, the SAMSUNG 990 EVO Plus SSD 4TB drive should be up to doing more than 400MB, it clocks in at around ten times that speed when I mount it internally.
Obviously, there's a missing link, just want to track down where it is.
