Unfortuantely the M2 may be causing issues with SSD speeds.
yep, due to supply constraints. it's also the base level config, where
speed isn't that important.

Even being aware the M1/M2 series of chips are essentially worthless
designs due to likely known multiple exploitable unfixable hardware
flaws...
I skimmed the real-world performance article from Your Name just now... <https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/27/m2-macbook-pro-256gb-ssd-real-world-tests/>
"The M2 MacBook Pro with 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM was slower than the
M1 MacBook Pro with 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM across multiple usage tests involving Photoshop, Lightroom, Final Cut Pro, multitasking, and file transfers.
The M2 MacBook Pro's read speeds appear to be around *50 percent slower*, while the write speeds appear to be around *30 percent slower*."
Essentially they surmised that Apple cheaped out on the memory.
"Max Tech attributes this performance difference to Apple's choice
of NAND flash storage. In the M2 MacBook Pro, there is a single
256GB NAND flash storage chip, while the M1 MacBook Pro has two NAND chips that are likely 128GB each."

Worse...
If the M2 has the same debilitating hardware flaws as the M1 does (and it's looking very much like it has them), then the M2 is essentially worthless.
Nobody but a fool wants a CPU that contains multiple known exploitable unfixable built-in hardware flaws.
It's like when Apple designed a "fast" SOC that required _secret_
throttling because the power delivery design was sophomorically inept.
Who wants that M2 crap but a fool who only believes in advertising BS.

Speed is *always* *very important*.
no it isn't.
casual use (e.g., email, web surfing) will not come anywhere close to
the limit of a single channel ssd, let alone dual.
Let's not forget,
security is also almost _always_ very important too.
It's no longer shocking how the ignorant iKooks are unaware the T2, A14, M1 and most likely M2 designs contain known multiple exploitable and yet completely unfixable hardware flaws which mean any device made with them is essentially worthless in terms of security.

a substantial portion of buyers for the macbook pro 13" are corporate
sales, who buy the least expensive configuration and do not need the additional speed, which is already faster than what they had before.
Given that I am permanently unfixably flawed...
Where anyone with the means to exploit the flaws will have _root_ access.

Given the T2, A14, M1 & most likely also the M2 (as it uses the same architecture) are _already known_ to be permanently unfixably flawed...
I wonder why any self respecting "corporate" account would buy any machine with a CPU already known to be exploitable...

Apple has never designed a best-in-class SOC in its entire existence.

You mean TSMC designed flawed chips?

Apple designs the absolute best-in-class smartphone and tablet
processors.
Period.

Apple T2 & Apple A10 *UNPATCHABLE* flaws <https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/10/05/apples-mac-t2-chip-has-an-unfixable-vulnerability-that-could-allow-root-access>
Since the T2 chip is based on an Apple A10 processor, it's vulnerable
to the same checkm8 exploit that affects
iOS-based devices. Attackers can easily circumvent activation lock
and carry out other malicious attacks gaining full control.
Apple M1/M2 & Apple A14 *UNPATCHABLE* flaws <https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/10/apple-m1-unpatchable-flaw/> <https://www.digit.in/news/general/apples-m1-and-a14-chips-have-an-unfixable-security-flaw-that-you-need-not-worry-about-59579.html>
Apple's M1 & A14 chips have an unpatchable hardware vulnerability
in PAC allowing attackers full control of the device under certain circumstances. MIT said it has not yet tested the attack on Apple's unreleased M2 chip, which also supports PAC.
Apple is incapable of designing a chip _without_ security flaws.
ftfy
It's the wheels that give the extra performance.
As you can see, Apple has already patched these vulnerabilities
