The SystemRescueCd live USB gives the same slow speed of the SSD:
| Code: | /dev/nvme0n1:
Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 428 MB in 2.00 seconds = 213.52 MB/sec
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 516 MB in 3.00 seconds = 171.85 MB/sec
|
If Windows wouldn't be faster I'd say the device is broken. But like this is seems to be a Linux issue.
For comparison, the result of lspci -nkk in the live USB environment:

The only issue I could find is an extremely high number of Error Log Entries:

Gh0str1d3r,
It looks like the device believes it is healthy and has had no errors, which is good to know.
sysrescue does not have some drivers, like Anon-E-moose and NeddySeagoon were helping you solve for your gentoo kernel. If that's still also the case in your gentoo boot, there is still more to solve here, since the device is fast as expected in Windows. Unfortunately sysrescue did not load them by default, maybe you could modprobe them and see if the speed changes.
Have you noticed this wiki page: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dell_XPS_13_9350
It does not talk about nvme specifically but it may show the special sauce you need.
Also Arch wiki has a similar page for that laptop, although there may be many variants.

I would try to use other utility, just to make sure that hdparm is correct, e.g. dd command:
write speed:
| Code: | | dd if=/dev/zero of=/device/mount/point/output.img bs=8k count=256k |
Then clean cache:
| Code: | sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches |
and finally read speed:
| Code: | | dd if=/device/mount/point/output.img of=/dev/null bs=8k count=256k |
will it be the same values like you got from hdparm?
As for hdd, it gives comparable results (dd vs hdparm)
added: make sure you have enough free space at the drive ( 2Gb ) |

I now have all drivers, thanks for the tip with the live USB! But the ssd is still as slow as it was before. The dd command runs a little faster, thanks for the suggestion!
| Code: | root@dell-laptop # hdparm -Tt --direct /dev/nvme0n1
/dev/nvme0n1:
Timing O_DIRECT cached reads: 544 MB in 2.01 seconds = 271.23 MB/sec
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 662 MB in 3.00 seconds = 220.49 MB/sec
|
| Code: | root@dell-laptop # dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/aa.img bs=8k count=256k
262144+0 records in
262144+0 records out
2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB, 2.0 GiB) copied, 17.8105 s, 121 MB/s

| Code: | root@dell-laptop # sync; echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches; sync; echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches ;sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
|
| Code: | root@dell-laptop # dd if=/root/aa.img of=/dev/null bs=8k count=256k
262144+0 records in
262144+0 records out
2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB, 2.0 GiB) copied, 2.6398 s, 814 MB/s

But first this is still not the ~2.5-3.5 GB/s that is specified and second everyone is using 'hdparm -tT --direct' to test the speed of this drive. Why would mine not work? |

I don't know how to interpret this. |

| Can you test if these errors are coming on Windows, Gentoo or both sides? |

Sorry I did not notice the number of error log entries a 4 or 5 days ago.
I don't know what it means, but my device only has an error count of 5. I will try to keep watching this thread.
