Question SSD Underperforming in New Laptop

[NewUserHelp]

Hi, I just purchased a new laptop https://www.newegg.com/asus-e1504fa...-amd-radeon-graphics-512-gb/p/N82E16834236515 with the SSD Samsung MZVL4512HBLU-00BTW 512GB. After running User Benchmark it told me that my SSD was performing under expectations. I installed the SSD driver on the ASUS website and ran Crystal disk mark

and comparing with Notebook Check benchmark results https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-PM9B1-512GB-MZVL4512HBLU-SSD-Benchmarks.727090.0.html my scores are lower. Is there a software fix that I can use or should I send in the laptop? Thanks.

M.2 slot in your laptop is PCIE 3.0 x2.
Benchmark results reflect that.
It doesn't matter, if your M.2 drive is PCIE 4.0 x4. It will work at PCIE 3.0 x2 speeds.

So these results are to be expected?

Yes.
PCIE 3.0 x2 limits sequential reads/writes to ~1700MB/s.
