    Is it possible that my Samsung PCIE NVME SSD is almost the same speed then my Samsung PRO 950 SSD SATA ? Am I reading the rest results correctly ? How is that possible ?

    Windows Server Setup VIRTIO or SCSI ?

    I ran winsat disk in dos to benchmark. So I'm guessing the 16 is 16 bytes ? I attached the screenshot from my physical box benchmark and the VM (no cache). I installed fio on windows but I guess I need some file to load into it? I never used fio before have to find out who to use it.
