based on 2x pci-e 2.0 lanes, thats very weak. the samsung xp941 m2 ssd that runs on x4 lanes is already pushing well above 1GB/sec. Outdated before it even is released.

Honestly 1 GB/sec is more than anyone would ever need. the low cost allows them to put 2 of them on the board for RAID M.2, which would be 2 GB/s in RAID 0. Even apple's high end macbook pro's just do 1 GB/s. Intel's mainstream chipset doesnt have enough lanes to dedicate 4 of them to 1 ssd whilst still leaving room for USB, Graphics, Thunderbolt, Wifi, etc....
