That is well below h/w spec. Any difference if you run 'hdparma -t'
to the raw /dev/nvme0n1 partition? Even a badly aligned partition can't
account for that much off the h/w spec, but curious to know if there's
a difference.
With your boot issue, it sounds like the drive + driver are working, but
the init sequence is not waiting for the root partition to mount. Not sure
what logs to get that will tell us what we need to tune. Maybe a dmesg
to start. And something else depending on what init process you're using. ?
