I'm having an issue with my Samsung SSD 9100 Pro, which is supposed to operate at PCIe 5.0 x4 speeds, but it seems to only be running at PCIe 5.0 x2. I've listed my PC specs below for reference. Is there something I might be missing or a setting that needs to be adjusted?

One thing to check is which M.2 slot you're using on the motherboard. Sometimes, certain slots can share lanes with other components, like USB ports, which might limit the bandwidth available to your SSD. Make sure it's in the correct slot for optimal speeds!

I'm using the M.2_1 slot, which has a quick release mechanism. Do you think that might be causing an issue?
