The SSDs they use are almost an order of magnitude faster than regular consumer grade ones you can get for just over $300, and I was surprised last time I priced up something with decent performance that it cost about the same whether buying from Apple or not.
- wufufufu 8y agoThey have almost 6GB/s write speeds? Also, you can get a 2TB PCIE SSD that writes at 2000MB/s for $600. https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/501128/Samsung-SSD-970-EVO-2TB https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/501128/Samsung-SSD-9...
- timcederman 8y agoMost drives I've looked at get around 400mb a second (I also use https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/ https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/), and the SSDs Apple use are 2500mb/s, so 6.25x faster. I priced up the high performance 2TB SSD setup about a year ago, so I'll concede that data point is out of date.
- wufufufu 8y agoI agree $1400 seems more reasonable when compared to PCIE SSD prices.
