For reference, the slower speed seems to be around 1500 MB/s read and write, compared to 3000 MB/s read speeds for the M1 MBP [0]. While there are definitely applications that would benefit from the extra speed, I wouldn't call 1500 MB/s - ~2.5x the speed of the fastest SATA SSDs - a "performance issue."

Why on earth would you compare it to SATA SSDs?

Common ~$100-150 1 TB M.2 SSDs read 7000 MB/s and write 5000 MB/s.
