16" Macbook M1 Max 64GB users question regarding 1TB and 2TB.

[GCC]

After doing some research and asking around also watching Youtube videos.

I would like to ask users here only one question.

Is there a noticeable difference in the 16 inches Macbook M1 Max 64GB 1TB ssd and the same laptop with 2TB ssd?
In some videos i did see that Apple speeds up much faster on the 2TB onwards.

Like the 4TB is very fast, I don't even think of 8TB as I am not in that users category.

Only concern is for 1TB to 2TB, would love to hear from users here.

Thank you very much.

The 2TB SSD will be a little faster than the 1TB. Whether you will be able to see the difference depends on your usage, which have to be extremely disk-intensive. Most users would never be able to tell. The 1 TB drive is extremely fast.

Consensus is that this should not be a deciding factor on which to get.

An obvious issue is that there are very few people with both a 1TB and 2TB 16” MBP to do side-by-side testing

Decide based on your budget and needs. These disks have gotten fast to the point that most users need either benchmarking tools or a very specific, disk-intensive usage to realize there is a difference.
