I'm running VMWare ESXi 6.0.0
I have the Intel DC3700 800GB
My VM is running Windows 10 x64 with 8GB RAM and 4CPU Cores. The entire VM is 32GB and sits on the SSD.
When I install Windows directly onto the SSD I get read speeds of 2700MB/s.
Before I installed the VMW-ESX-5.5.0-intel-nvme-1.0e.1.1-2791094.zip I was getting 800MB/s read.
Now that I've installed it I still only get 1700MB/s read.
What could I possibly be missing that's causing it to still run slowly?
