Apple Nerfed the M2 MacBook Pro’s SSD!



Everything about the M2 chip seems to be better than the M1 – but what is happening with the SSD speed? Is it really twice as slow?

  1. Some performance numbers:

    – The M1 is roughly 45% faster for write speeds, and roughly 98% faster (AKA twice as fast) in read speeds when compared with M2.

    – On the AJA system speed test, the write speeds seem about the same, but the read speeds again, are significantly worse, this time 156% faster on the M1 compared to M2

  2. I choose M1 MacBook Air, coz it will be usefull to me as a developer to build ios program with flutter. I can't do it now coz i don't any apple pc/laptop.

  3. If I get the M1 MBA I’ll use it for my school works since I’m a college student and I also want to start a YouTube channel
    If I get the $1000 I’ll use it to buy the M1 MacBook Air

  4. In every other application, larger SSDs operate faster than smaller SSDs. Is there something different about apple products?

    Seriously, apple buyers are like people trapped in abusive relationships. Why would anyone accept a 256gb drive in computer that costs this much. Especially one that is soldered to the board.

  5. Give a version to 2 people . See what they find running some video making software . Then get to swap and compare . Dont rely on benchmarks for user interface . They wont know without benchmarks
