Windows 10: How to know if drive A (SSD) is really faster than drive B (NVME)

Hi, I've got 2 inertnal SSD hard drives being used as part of my music studio, where I'm trying to get the quickest load/read times possible. These drives are not being written to - just read. Upon loading audio samples into my digital instruments, I'm not sure if I can tell a difference between the regular SSD drive and the NMVE one.

Is there a way to see some data/numbers rather than just rely on what I'm perceiving as "not much difference"?

NVME SSD

Tried this, and windows still didn't see the nvme ssd. It was a brand new nvme ssd right out of the box. Nothing works.

 

Windows 10 installer don't detect NVMe drive

I have 2 drives:

• disk1 (SATA SSD, with Ubuntu 16.04)
  • partition1 (sda1: flag /boot)
  • partition2 (sda2: flag /home, encrypted by LUKS)
• disk2 (NVMe SSD)

So, the goal is to install Windows 10 on disk2 and boot it from GRUB (which is on sda1).

What is the problem ?

In disk-choose step, disk2 is missing. However Ubuntu 14.04 installer "see" this disk, so I assume that is software issue, rather than my hardware.

What I tried to solve this problem ?

• loaded Samsung NVMe drivers from this thread
• patched Windows image using DISM tool by adding 2 updates. I followed this guide
• tried to run Windows 10 installed on USB stick to install it

All of them failed.

Please help me to solve this issue.

 

NVME SSD

Hi Adrian

Boot your system into BIOS

Disable CSM / UEFI

Enable Secure Boot

Then the installer should see the NVMe drive

Format the drive

Restart the machine

Enable CSM / UEFI

Disable Secure Boot

The installer should then see the NVME SSD and allow you to install Windows 10 onto that drive . . .
