The results of my testing (repeated over 3 days now): Write Speed (average over multiple tests): 2825 MB/s with highest at nearly 2850 MB/s. Read Speed (average over multiple tests): 2625 MB/s with highest at 2675 MB/s or so. I'm not a benchmark type person usually, but I wanted to see how the speed of this new MBP 16 compared to my MacBook Pro
While the link speed remains 5GT/s due to the fact that this is PCIe 2.0 architecture whereas the 2015 MacBook Pro has PCIe 3.0 and 8GT/s, on the 2014 with the SSUBX the link width now changes from the stock flash storage's x2 to the faster SSUBX's x4. I am super chuffed.
This thread is about upgrading MacBook Airs & Macbook Pros (2013-2015) with new high speed and/or high capacity NVMe SSDs. This thread was one of the first to talk about MacBook Pro NVMe SSD upgrades on Macrumors, and was started by user "maxthackray", which we can thank and give tribute for All testing to date has been with Samsung configured M.2 PCIe SSDs, and until the release of the new late 2013 version Apple products (specifically the MacBook Pro), there has really been no competition for Samsung in the M.2 PCIe world. Hi, I recently upgraded my macbook air early 2015 (A1466) with a Samsung Evo 970 Plus 1TB SSD. Start up (from the moment I hit the ON button till the desktop page shows up) takes about 1min! My 2011 iMac upgraded with a Samsung 950 500GB SSD 7 years back would only take 40 seconds.The 13-inch MacBook Pro continues to offer the bare minimum of ports with a headset jack on the right side When we ran the BlackMagic Disk Speed Test to test the MacBook Pro’s 1TB SSD speedCloudeck NVME 512GB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe 12+16PIN SSD.
