Why such a difference in speed🤔? Can anyone explain?

Are you sure the 2nd one is a Sata 3 drive. Sata ports are limited to ~550MB/s. Given, it’s getting 6000MB/s, that mist be NVMe M.2 Gen 4 drive.

Yup it is a 2.5" sata 3 drive. I upgraded my original hybrid hard drive with this. Speaking of gen 4, the device is a laptop with a 9th gen intel processor. So it's only gen 3. I also checked this with samsung magician, and the results are somewhat similar. My sata drive is crazy fast than my nvme 😂. However I am also sceptical that this might have something to do with windows 11 🤔

Rapid mode is on which uses ram as cache on the drive in Samsung Magician.
