The real performance gain comes from replacing a subpar no-name SATA to a brand name NVMe. As for the bandwidth, N95 chip only supports PCIe 3.0x1 to your x4 SSD, so the speed increase is mostly from 550 MB/s SATA to about 985 MB/s PCIe 3.0x1.

More importantly, it's the random 4k QD1 performance that has the greatest impact on system responsiveness in day-to-day tasks. Your Crucial is probably miles better than the cheap original OEM M.2 SATA SSD that came with the system.
