MBP16 1TB SSD Speed

[Hazmat401]

If anyone is interested in the speed of the 1TB SSD... here ya go:

Thank you.
Is anybody able to compare it to the base 512GB storage?

A moment ago I ran BlackMagic on my 2018 Mini and got:
read: 2756
write: 2097

I'll reckon that the speeds you're getting are "pushing the envelope" about as far as it can go for a drive of that type.

Smile and be happy!

512 SSD in the base

That’s still a limited PCI Express 3.0 NVME Drive. And that’s just shows Red/Write Speeds. Which is a poor test and outdated since SSD times.

a better test is Random IOPS where NVME M.2 drive really shine over SATA SSDs

Those speeds are probably a Samsung Drive with IOPS of around 250k or 480k

But with a Modern Asus X570 TUF board and PCI Express 4.0 NVME M.2 drive I’m hitting

800k IOPS and sustained 5500/4400 give or take Read/Write speeds and Dual 1TB Samsung 860 Pro MLC SSDs.
So TLC NVME M.2 for speed and gaming and loading files and solid MLC reliability Samsung 860Pros SSD for security.

just living off a Single drive in a laptop is just not possible for serious work.

Not sure if I know what I’m talking about... but I don’t think current gen MBP’s have NVME drives.... please correct me if I’m wrong

Aren’t Mac SSD’s just nand flash chips that are just soldered onto the logic board’s PCI bus?

They are, but the signaling is still based on the NVMe standard.

I see that makes sense... thanks

You’re comparing your three (3) drive-equipped desktop setup to a portable computer. In what world are these co-equal arrangements?

A single drive is just not possible for serious work? Really? People have been doing it for a long time and still do it.

Me thinks you just want to brag to us what a super cool setup you have, which is not germane to this thread at all.
