Just noticed my 950 Pro is pulling in a measly 800MB/s read and write speed. Previously I'd been touching on the touted 2500/1500 speeds. I notice in magician it's listing the drive as "PCIe Gen. 3 X 1. Is there some way to force it to use all 4 lanes?

Well after some browsing, I ran across this forum discussion: https://hardforum.com/threads/rampage-v-edition-10-pcie-lane-fail.1916681/

I flashed back to an earlier BIOS (3301 for the X99 Deluxe v1.0) and adjusted the BCKL below 100 and the SSD is now running at the proper speed; on a side note, this BIOS version does not appear to play nice with my new RAM's XMP profile.
