GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 and m.2 SSD

Hello.
I saw a lot of topics but did not find an answer to my questions.
So.
Is it normal that in the BIOS in a special section of the NVMe I do not see my SSD?
The claimed speed that shows my Plextor M8Pe is simply awful.
It is far from the one I saw in the reviews and specifications of the manufacturer.

The read / write speeds vary depending on the size / model.  What speeds are you expecting? What speeds are you seeing and what are you using to benchmark?

How was windows installed?  Did you install to the device using UEFI prefixed OS heading?
