For me on my hard disk its giving:

/dev/sdd:
Timing cached reads:   52114 MB in  1.99 seconds = 26165.57 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 492 MB in  3.01 seconds = 163.69 MB/sec

and on my SSD it is giving:

/dev/sdc:
Timing cached reads:   52352 MB in  1.99 seconds = 26285.62 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 1498 MB in  3.00 seconds = 498.96 MB/sec

Try it on individual partitions and you may see more than trivial variation.

What trivial variation are you seeing. The non-cached reads are going to be maxing out the SATA connection with the SSD.

# hdparm -t /dev/nvme0n1

/dev/nvme0n1:
  Timing buffered disk reads: 2872 MB in  3.00 seconds = 957.06 MB/sec
# hdparm -t /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
  Timing buffered disk reads: 436 MB in  3.00 seconds = 145.19 MB/sec
# hdparm -t /dev/nvme0n1p8

/dev/nvme0n1p8:
  Timing buffered disk reads: 3652 MB in  3.00 seconds = 1216.79 MB/sec
# hdparm -t /dev/sdb7

/dev/sdb7:
  Timing buffered disk reads: 440 MB in  3.01 seconds = 146.41 MB/sec
# hdparm -t /dev/nvme0n1p7

/dev/nvme0n1p7:
  Timing buffered disk reads: 3056 MB in  3.00 seconds = 1018.60 MB/sec
# hdparm -t /dev/sdb8

/dev/sdb8:
  Timing buffered disk reads: 434 MB in  3.00 seconds = 144.51 MB/sec

You have an nvme drive, so it's not going over SATA and will be much faster than a regular SSD. The variations in your measurements are just noise.
