![]() In doing this, his thought process was that if the SSD speeds are slower in the M2 MacBook Pro, then these tasks when carried out under heavy load, should effectively be slower on the M2 MacBook Pro, than when carried out on the M1 MacBook Pro. Max Tech created a follow up video to this, in which he carried out some real world tests on each of the M1 and M2 MacBook Pro’s, where he put each under considerable load, so the 8GB of unified memory in each was maxed out, forcing them to dip considerably into the SSD Swap Memory. M2 MacBook Pro - Read Speed - 1446 mbps.Īs can be seen from these results, the readings obtained for the M1 MacBook Pro are marginally faster than the ones I recorded for my M1 MacBook Air, however, the readings recorded for the M2 MacBook Pro are way slower than both the M1 MacBook Pro tested by Max Tech, and the M1 MacBook Air tested by myself. M2 MacBook Pro - Write Speed - 1463 mbps. ![]() M1 MacBook Pro - Write Speed - 2215 mbps. Max Tech (extremely good YouTube reviewer who I watch regularly, and who’s testing and opinions I trust) carried out some SSD speed test comparisons between the M1 MacBook Pro and the M2 MacBook Pro (base models), and reported the following results: Read Speed - 2802.8 mbps.īlackmagic read speed for my M1 MacBook Air I have tried it out on the M1 MacBook Air (base model) that I currently own however, and these are the results below: I haven’t tried the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on either of these devices myself, but a number of reviewers have, and I will cover that shortly. This change however has made a drastic difference to the read and write speed capabilities of the M2 MacBook Pro’s SSD. Upon removing the back of the M1 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook Pro devices, the only visible change is the SSD, with the M1 having 2 x 128GB SSD drives in the base model (totalling 256GB) and the M2 having 1 x 256GB SSD drive in the base model (also totalling 256GB). The solid state drive (SSD) in the new M2 MacBook Pro is considerably slower than that in the M1 MacBook Pro. Since writing that article, the M2 MacBook Pro is now available to purchase, and after various reviewers having their hands on it for a few days, a rather startling detail has emerged. In a previous article, I wrote about how I was not impressed with the M2 offering from Apple, especially at their new elevated prices.
