    I've had my 9350 for a few months now, and got got the 128GB Sata SSD with the intention of upgrading to the NVMe drive later. I didn't think the M2 SSD performance would be that bad. The machine is way slower than my Yoga2Pro (also SATA) was to boot or wake from sleep. I suspect it's the SSD, and I don't have the cash for the NVMe upgrade yet.

    What speeds are you getting on your SSDs? Please let us know which drive it is. Maybe even post a link to your userbenchmark.com result if you use their program for benchmarking.

    Dunno what you expect from a cheap sata ssd but those results are about right on the read speeds, writes are not brilliant but this aint no NVMe drive.
