Installation went swell. I was able to use bootctl (by whatever name), which seemed to be easier than using GRUB. (on the Manjaro wiki was found an extremely coherent discussion of this system). I have encountered no problems other than slow-ish (if one would call it that).
When I run hdparm to test the performance of this memory, it falls far short of the specification of 32 Gb/s.
Where did you get that number? All the specs I see for these drives show transfer rates in MB/s. You may have confused the read/write specs of the drive with the link speed of the NVMe / PCIe bus. The two are not the same. Also note that the read/write speeds are spec'd as "up to" speeds, so they are not guaranteeing any minimum speeds. Perhaps I'm just jaded, but I would be happy to get anything close to a spec-sheet speed on consumer hardware.
I realize that the Linux kernel has recently included some code for the NVME drivers. There is also some question as to the best parameters to use in /etc/fstab.
That will depend entirely on the filesystem you choose. Also note that real-world filesystems rarely do perfectly sequential reads or writes, so your real world read/write performance will almost certainly be lower than any HDD test utility shows. --Sean Also, it is depends on "How you connect NVMe" and "How M/B handles it", also "what filesystem you use".
