Early 2015 7,2 MBA - max SSD read/write speeds?

[Rico Muerte]

Tonight I acquired 4 x early 2015 7,2 MBAs

They all have the stock 128GB SSD, of which I want to upgrade 1 of the laptops to a 1TB (maybe even 2TB) for either a dual or triple book:
Dual - Linux (to use mainly)/Mac OS
Triple - Linux (to use mainly)/Mac OS/Windows (just in case??)

Wanted to know what the max ssd read/write speed is for the unit so I dont waste money on a drive that's faster than what the machine is capable of...

Thanks

Thanks for the response - unfortunately I cannot find anywhere in those links (unless I'm blind...? 🤔) that show the read/write speeds of the SSD...

This is from memory so take it for what it’s worth.

I briefly had a 2015 MBA and upgraded the SSD. The max speeds were ~1300MBs for a 1TB WD Blue PCI gen 4.

**Edit - digging through my order history, I see I paid $60 for that hard drive in Oct. 2024. It goes for $260 today.
