Windows 10: M2 disk worse performace in game than regular SSD?

So recently i bought used M2 ssd (with 99% health check and low usage [according to Samsung Magician software]). I wanted to install Windows 10 and few games there (I formated it before to "factory settings" and set GPT format). My system was not able to boot from this M2 disk and when I switched to UEFI, my bios was not even recognizing the M2 disk. I tried many ways how to correct this, but I could not find any working solution for me. So I gave up and installed Windows to my regular SSD. I thought, that I will install few games on M2 disk for fast loading times but guess what. I dont see any difference in loading times and I am having worse performance in game. For example Valorant. My fps are about 50-60 lower, gpu response increased from 2-3ms to 5-7ms and I am having packet loss. It jumps from 0 to 20 to 50 and sometimes to 90 (!!!!). I read on some forums, that it can be caused by my motherboard, can this be true? I am not that experienced in M2 disks world, so can someone more experienced explain me, why is this happening? I downloaded all the latest drivers (except M2 disk cause i could not find any) latest version of BIOS, etc.

SSD Performace ?


Have a older computer and just installed a Samsung SSD. The computer only has Sata2 ports so my performance is limited. Here is my benchmark before a new Controller Card,I just installed a Satalll (6gbps) 2-port PCI-Express Controller Card. My benchmarks went down? Did not expect this. Any suggestions on this.

Migration from Hdd to m2.SSD

Recently I have purchased a new laptop (hp probook 450 G4) and a new original windows 10 home edition and now I want to upgrade my 1 TB Hdd to a new m2 ssd and my laptop supports another slot for the m2 ssd so I can run both
the m2 ssd & hdd at the same time but I will make the m2 ssd the boot drive and the hdd will be the data drive.
MY Question is how can I migrate system drive to the new m2 ssd without the need to reinstall windows or any other installed programs and there is another thing, when I checked the disk management I found 3 recovery partitions will I have to
migrate them too or I have to migrate the system drive only
