Here you go, Max Tech on YouTube just analyzed the SSD read/write speed of the 14" MacBook M2 Pro 512GB model compared to the 14" MacBook M1 Pro 512GB model. The video below has an interesting tear down of the machine and SSD layout also. Seems to be a similar reason as the Mac Mini M2 Pro 512GB SSD drive issue, except on the 14" MacBook Pro M2 Pro 512GB machine Apple only used 1 512GB SSD nand chip to get 3000 MB/s slower SSD speed, while on the Mac Mini M2 Pro 512GB model Apple used 2 256GB SSD nand chips to get the slower 3000 MB/s speed than the larger SSD configurations (1TB+) which get 6000 MB/s SSD read/write speed on both the Mac Mini M2 Pro and the 14" MacBook Pro M2 Pro models. Not great for a new M2 Pro model compared to the previous model 14" M1 MacBook Pro 512GB model.
Here is Max Tech's latest video showing the above:
