The new one is probably an nvme attached directly to PCIe, and the other is probably connecting over SATA. These days, no two SSDs are the same.

- GeekyBear 8y agoThey are both NVMe. Apple bought a company that developed NVMe SSD controllers and has been producing it's own custom controllers for a few years now. https://www.anandtech.com/show/9136/the-2015-macbook-review/8 https://www.anandtech.com/show/9136/the-2015-macbook-review/... The 2018 MacBook Pro is just using a newer high performance version of the controller. >The T2 is also Apple’s SSD controller, so this means that the MBP is getting a SSD upgrade. Apple is now offering up to 4TB of SSD storage on the 15-inch MBP and 2TB on the 13-inch model. And judging from some of the numbers the 4TB iMac Pro has put up with the same controller, the 15-inch MBP stands to have chart-topping SSD performance. https://www.anandtech.com/show/13073/apple-updates-macbook-pro-family-for-2018 https://www.anandtech.com/show/13073/apple-updates-macbook-p...
