Hello!
I'm a total noob at this, but would like to know what these results are for 2020.
I purchased a Lenovo Legion y740 laptop for work and some games.
Config:
i7-9750H
16 GB DDR4 2666
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2060 Max-P
PCIe NVMe SSD SK Hynix HFS512GD9TNG
Please provide feedback on the current SSD and the future I plan to purchase.
You need SATA, the volume is from 512 GB, but with good speed.

well, sata will not have such speeds as nvme
needs a middle ground - take samsung evo you need a cheap place for file cleaning / games -
kingston adata / sandisk ssd
plus - sequential rnd - random - random see the last and penultimate parameter, it is more important than sequential read / write speed you can search for tests on the Internet, from several sources and comparisons with pluses and minuses, guro and tentacles here you can see an approximate concept for speeds here https: //safezone.cc/threads/obzor-neskolkix-ssd-di...

Great results, great overall. Speed opupenny, enough for a long time.

How to interpret these SSD speed results?

Well, for starters, you need to measure correctly.
You managed to start measuring the speed of drive C - on which your system is installed.
They measure the speed of a disk with which other programs do not work! And your OS is running on it.
And what you want to know about the disk is not entirely clear.
What exactly do you want to measure? And for what.

You need SATA, the volume is from 512 GB, but with good speed.

In the Yandex market, make a selection - and you will find the SATA of the required volume. They all have about the same speed.

Here's a cheap Kingston SSD via SATA 6Gb/sec for reference :) The performance is very limited by the SATA bandwidth.

You need to understand the fact that there is also such a parameter as the stability of speed indicators and temperature conditions - in nvme m.2 ssd laptops they tend to throttling and reduce the speed of work without additional cooling from overheating or exhaustion of the cache size. It is necessary to proceed from the load profile. If on it, for example, there will be a database - this is one situation. If video editing is different. If a couple of times a day to transfer files back and forth - the third. Apparently, you do not have clear criteria for performance, so it is difficult to advise anything specific. For Sata, Samsung Evo is a fairly versatile option in most types of workloads.
