M2 13" MacBook Pro & M2 MacBook Air why base 256GB SSD Speed is not really an issue.



M2 13″ MacBook Pro & M2 MacBook Air why base 256GB is not a real issue in real world workflow! Apple latest M2 13″ MacBook Pro & M2 MacBook Air based 256GB modes SSD speed is slower than the previous generation M1 equivalent. This happens because instead of using 2 – 128GB NAND chip in a RAID 0 Configuration, in this generation Apple is using just 1 singular 256GB NAND Module. This finding though, disappointing, has been blown out of proportion. It is a manufactured – non issue – issue. This video will show you that in a real world photography and video workflow heavy intensive work loads these base SSD performs just fine and are more than fast enough for the application of today. Don’t follow the hype and think that you’ll see or run into issues when you buy the base model, if this is what you need then it is what you need. This video will use actual testing outcome to show you there’s no variations. There’s no “The Truth about SSD speed” or any other theatric. Find out more in the video.

* To further clarify, I have also done these test with multi tasking the results still concur with that is published here. Timing is longer but non the less even with swap. SSD speed does not play as big of a role. Video with these results coming soon.
