iPad Pro iPad Pro M4 Thunderbolt Transfer Speed

[Macintosh101]

Quick question for anyone who knows. I’m using a Samsung T7 External SSD Drive tomove an 80GB folder onto my M4 iPad Pro’s internal storage (1TB), using a Caldigit Thunderbolt Cable.

When I transfer the same 80GB folder to my M4 MacBook Pro (which has a Thunderbolt 5 connection), it does it in 2 minutes, but using the same external drive and same cable, it takes more like 45 mins to my iPad Pro. My understanding is the the iPad Pro M4 has a thunderbolt 4 connection, so I’d expect it to be much quicker than this.

Any idea what’s going on?

Thanks in advance.

iPadOS feature.

Might want to download the Jazz benchmark app and check the transfer rates for the Samsung drive connected to the iPP. There is a TB performance hit with iPadOS when I ran these tests on a TB enclosure with NVMe SSD ... but not as much as you experienced. Are you sure you have a proper cable? Sounds like you are getting USB 2 speed.

Something not right. I just tested copying a 16GB folder (8 videos in it) from my T7 SSD to my M4 13" Pro using the as-delivered cable and it took just around 30 secs.

Thanks. yes I suspected something was off. I'm running a beta so I wonder if that's causing the issue.
