I have been doing this for 30 yrs. If I have SSD at those speed I would crapping my pants. Here is a review on those drives.

Thats the thing the reviews are good super fast and bla bla bla but mine in is like wt the fish. Is it because i didnt like secure format/secure erase these drive before raiding it. I used one of the ssd previously but i used windows installer to delete all the partition and correct me if im wrong when set up raid 0 doesnt the entire ssd its wiped ?. Is it a must to secure format/ erase. I know previously i used the rampage board i used the secure erase utility inside the bios before i used the ssd. I know not does it make any difference not doing it since not even sure if gigabyte have those  features.

Did you read the whole review? There use no video card. They use a PCIe slot the first one x16 with M.2 adapter card. Now the thing is that your readings are backwards to all the reviews I look at.

On every review the read speed is faster then the write. There is something going on there. That is why I never benchmark any thing. They can drive you nuts.

I think i know why not my read speed are terrible. I was talking to one of my friends about this and he asked me whether im running crossfire. I said yes and he was like bro "u know skylake has only 20 lanes right ?". I was thinking for a moment if each pcie slot for the gpu is running at x8. I have crossfire "2 x fury x" so total of 16 used and left with another 4 lanes left which shared by the m.2 immediately i was thinking damn thats was the bottle neck since each nvme ssd need up to x4 to gain maximum speed. Haiz my life sucks right now, i guess i have to just live with it. Damn the money i spend for the mobo waterblock  :'(..Correct if im wrong is this could be the problem..Somehow when my friend told me skylake has only 20 lanes i fell like my life ended haha cause i didnt know how can i be so careless f--k..Right now going for other mobo like x99 is just going make me nuts again.

Simple test, remove one of the GPUs and see if your read/write speeds are better. If they are then you can be pretty certain that this is the issue.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Bro if it was so ez i should have done it by now. Its watercooled so i just didnt bother. My pc is fast enough for me so i just forget about the benchmark cause it will drive me nuts..

I come to an understanding that most people like to say skylake has 20 lanes. So hope this link above provide better understanding. I think i going to do some research.
