Think it might be some missing updates in between to Monterey !?

I will have a look for it. But… the NVME are fresh taken out of the package, I installed naked High Sierra or big sure.there is nothing on the discs.Everything with the same write limit. It feels a little bit like the Mac 6.1 did not unterstand NVME and was still working in SATA Mode. Are there any patches or updates available I can install to get it running as I want??No, you already have the most recent BootROM.
Your issue seems hardware wise. Open System Information, Hardware, NVMExpress, Generic SSD Controller and look at Link Width and Link Speed:

Btw, if your SSD is full, write speeds drop absurdly.
The Tb2 Transcend 855 HDD has the same write maximumI will have a look for it.

I am just downloading the diagnostic tool. What means/are disconnected airport?MacPro6,1 does not even have SATA devices…
No, you already have 481.0.0.0.0. You probably have something wrong with the 12+16 socket or the adapter. I'd install back the AppleOEM blade and try to run ASD 3S159 to see if something is wrong with the hardware.
Disconnected AirPort can cause high CPU usage and your low transfer rate can be from that.
Adapter (I just tried 2) was also my idea.I am just downloading the diagnostic tool. What means/are disconnected airport?
And the second question: why does external TB2 case with NVME has the same limits- r/w values?

It is not clear how you have connected your NVMe drive. Is it plugged into the internal slot or an external TB2 enclosure?Adapter (I just tried 2) was also my idea.
I have both. external NVME in Transcend 855 case and what I am trying to get running internal sintech adapter + crucial 2TB NVME SSD. Both seem to be limited in writing performance anyway.It is not clear how you have connected your NVMe drive. Is it plugged into the internal slot or an external TB2 enclosure?
So here again some feedback- the issue lies in small details. After the memory Desaster I ordered memory specially from a German memory reseller for the 6.1.Can You see the difference? I cannot see, I am very sorry for that. The top one is the one not working, the memory in the package is working like a Charme.. now max memory and high speed NVME + total clean device (when opened for the airport topic cleaned the can with pressure air)So ladies and Gentlemen, This day I worked it out. The story went completely different. As you mentioned I tried the ASD and the Mac Pro was totally fine. No problem with Airport nothing. But one thing was NOK: The memory! When I bought it two years ago, I ordered non Apple memory that worked - 64 GB ECC-R. but exactly those lead to the problem. Registered dimms seem to be not so good. I changed back to the original ones I still had and ran the tests and wow! I have now 1400 Write 1400 Read! I also tried all the NVME I have still laying and the best performance came from the Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB NVME - WD Black or Crucial P3 or 970 EVO exactly 100 MB below. So this shall be the end of the story and I am happy!!! Thank you for ideas and effort!!
The spec looks identical so its most probable that the DIMM is faulty in some way. I had a similar situation the 6.1 which would run very slowly after I had installed a RAM upgrade. Changing the DIMM fixed the problemSo here again some feedback- the issue lies in small details.

I am thinking more on the memory organization. I am no Samsung DIMM specialist, but the working memory Has CMA Q8M signature. This might mean different internal details. In an HP DL380 G8 or a Dell server the memory might work without issues..The spec looks identical so its most probable that the DIMM is faulty in some way.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) GPU (Driver) Issues
I want to share my experience with you. My MP arrived few days ago with OS X Yosemite 10.10 on it, and just after setting it up and connecting to network, I installed 10.10.2 update from AppStore and after that Mac Pro has locked up a few times. It was completely random and what happens is GUI...forums.macrumors.com
Have you installed 12.7.5 yet and seen if the firmware is updated?
Safe to proceed with 6,1 in your opinion?
Yes, no new firmware upgrades.
12.7.5 changes a lot of things, you can’t reset the Launchpad (now you can only reset the Dock) anymore for example. I even did a clean install to make sure that was not a problem elsewhere.
I’d wait a little for more reports.
That's good to know.. thank you so much!
Is it possible to do 12.7.4 os and safari update in the meanwhile? I missed this and 'system update' now only gives the option for 12.7.5.
Sorry for this dumb query..
Many thanks!You can try, no guarantees whatsoever, this is the Safari installer package:
yep no new firmwareYes, no new firmware upgrades.

I have not experience any issuesHave you encountered any issues (besides resetting the Launchpad which @tsialex mentioned, that doesn't concern me personally..)
