16 inch M1 Pro/Max, does SSD size matter?

[seasurfer]

I have been reading reports that the bigger the SSD the faster is the speed.

I don't have many big files to store locally. Most of my disc space are usually occupied by the game I installed.

Is 1Tb really faster than the 512Gb?

Anyone mind to share your experience? Thanks.

It's significantly faster, but that's not a reason to choose it unless you need that increased speed. Almost no one does.

Do you have any article or video that I can see how much faster?

No, but here are test results using the Black Magic Speed Test on my 1 Tb:

write 5864 read 5188

I'm sure you can find 512 results if you search.

Here's the 1TB speedtest. Someone shared this screenshot.

14" MacBook Pro 10/16/16 16GB with 1TB Storage

Pretty good I'd say!!

the 512gb based on MBP 13 seems to be 1000 slower. I wonder if that is also the case for M1 Pro 14 or 16
