I got the Samsung 950 pro working (sort of) as my system drive using the same PCIe adapter in a 4x slot,and Magician reports the same as your system - 5Gbps of a max of 10Gbps and running as x2.

My system is a Dell Optiplex 7020 running windows 7 Enterprise 64bit, which only has 1 16x PCIe and 1 4x slot.  The 16x is occupied by the video card.

I would like to know if you found out why yours reports getting half of the max shown in Magician. X2 instead of x4.

PS. For anyone interested, I say 'sort of' working because I get a 'no hard drive found' warning during POST that pauses until you press F1 to continue, and then Windows 7 loads fine. I could only get windows to install by disabling UEFI boot mode in the BIOS. Drive is partioned as GPT.  Samsung NVMe drivers were needed during the windows 7 install before it would recognize the drive.
