Wouldn't the speed losses negate the attractiveness of the M1's performance? I guess if you feel the Apple pricing of the larger hard drive is extortionate, then ok, sure.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoWith USB4? I don't think it would necessarily have to be slower.
- ValentineC 6y agoI did a disk speed test comparing the M1 MacBook Pro's internal SSD to a WD SN750 inside a Realtek RTL9210 USB-C case. The internal SSD gets ~2,800-3,000 MB/s read/write. The USB-C case gets ~800-900 MB/s read/write. If I'm not wrong, the M1 Mac's "USB4" supports 10Gb/s max, so external drives will always be slower.
