Purchased 2 new 2 GB hard drives. Both installed in same notebook (Lenovo P16G2 w 13700HX). Swapping between M.0 and M.1 yields the same result, so it is not the slot.

I am not sure how quickly the Pro temp throttling kicks in. The Pro Idles at 45C and hits a max of 55C while the Evo idles at 43C and hits a max of 46C.
CrystalMark is set to NVMe SSD. All other settings are left at default.
Sumsung Magician reports both drives have the latest firmware.
Any suggestions? As random are more important than sequential to overall performance for apps run (graphics editing and some gaming), the numbers suggest that I would be better off returning the Pro and going with two Evo. Am I misreading the benchmark results?
