    CrystalDiskInfo doesn't seem to support the PM951 yet. (Note support for the similar SM951 was just recently added on Dec. 9th with version 6.6.0 (see History).)

    A support request for PM951 has been already been created for CrystalDiskInfo here. Probably just a matter of time, since the PM951 is new.

    From the front page of CrystalDiskMark site:
    CrystalDiskInfo does not support NVMe devices, yet.

    I assume that is why? I didn't try the Info, but the CrystalDiskMark utility seemed to work.
