If anyone is interested in the speed of the 1TB SSD... here ya go:
512 SSD in the baseThank you.
Is anybody able to compare it to the base 512GB storage?
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 Which is a poor test and outdated since SSD times.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.
They are, but the signaling is still based on the NVMe standard.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?
