WD SN850 2TB VMD vs PCH

Help me out here, if I swap to VMD the performance of RND4k dies down to like 400-500MBs

I see people posting the RND4k at like 4000+ on some sites, what am I doing wrong here?

Yes, all running at 4x etc

You can remap the drives to work under the intel side of things without using the PCI 5.0 slot

Intel Volume Management

However, according to Intel, VMD is only working with Xeon processors.

Intel® VMD is an Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor feature that enables direct control and management of NVMe SSDs from the PCIe bus without additional hardware adaptors.

Scratch that, pretty much the same. Bios just make sure all PCI power saving is disabled and its pretty much the same every time you test
