Agreed. This thing has 10% better write and 78% better read than my 2012 rMBP 13. I never found that computer slow so it's a delight I got something better, albeit something I'll probably never feel.
Not my 2015 though, I get 1200 read 😛. Just messing, those write speeds are fine. Sure not as fast as the 2015 MBPR & MBA, but no slouch. May never notice in real world use.
Can't believe I'm quoting C2R here and agreeing 😉, but this is right. FV2 is not a zero-impact situation but once the disk is encrypted you'd be very unlikely to see the difference without doing a careful side-by-side test.
Anyone know why my write speeds are so poor? This is a 512GB model and I've tried restarting a few times and made sure nothing else was running in the background. It took so long to transfer my time machine backup because of this.
I am not an expert in SSD, but what write speed should it be?
I have an external SSD drive with USB 3.0 and I got the same speed and I thought it's pretty fast. So much so that I can do a clone (Carbon Copy Cloner) and boot my entire machine from it.
