You cannot be serious. RAPID mode is a cache on your RAM, when you run the benchmark, you are benching the cache on the RAM, not the SSD.
You drive is not running at 6000+ MB/s. Also RAPID only helps with programs that have high Queue Depth Usage. Regular usage, Rapid mode doesn't do anything.
The 950 Pro results, that is actually how fast the SSD is running, so it is better than the 840 EVO.
Also Redstorm, check to see if your Lenovo's M.2 slot is x2 lanes or x4, cuz you needs x4 to get the full performance of the drive.
already checked it. 4 x @ 10Mb so 4 x PCIe 3.0

Sequential read is 1557MB i have seen it over 1600 on the first run so repeated runs it gets slower. So im suspecting heat.
