I assure you that it's in fact a lot less than 30 MB/s:And to top it off, the current console systems cap a lot of expected IO to the lowest common denominator, which is probably random-reads on a 2.5in HD, and somewhere like 30MB/s right now.
SSDs are in fact about 100x faster here than even the fastest HDDs and this is the main reason why even an SATA SSD provides a huge performance and system responsiveness gain.
But all SSDs whether they are SATA or NVMe are significantly below peak data rate of SATA in this test. Even Intel's Optane SSDs (which are using a completely different memory type than NAND flash) can't go higher than 400 MB/s in random read test right now which means that even they aren't hitting SATA6's 500 MB/s limit here.
