    Not sure how many are aware, but 9360 has a gimped nvme. it currently only runs in low pwer GT2 mode. Samsung 970 evo is benching @ around 1500~1800 read speed. It should be in the 3000 range.

    now, Dell has enabled full power on nvme for 9370 and beyond. But 9350 and 9360 are both set @ low power mode.

    such a bummer for a "premium" laptop.

    Has anyone been able to find a work around this?

    Sadly I think the 9570 is also in GT2 mode. I don't know if it's ever been GT4, but mine certainly performs like GT2. I'd love to find a work around to it as well, but I don't think it's going to happen...
