Hi friends,
I just received my new 2018 15'' MBP with some configurations (i9, 512GB SSD, 32GB Ram). I'm happy about most aspects of the machine, but sort of confused by the test results I get from running BlackMagic Disk Speed Test. I ran my test on both BlackMagic and AJA (as shown below) and constantly have a mere 1700MB/s write and 2600MB/s read.
So I've seen many videos and articles claim how fast the new MacBook Pro's SSD runs, and they are mostly featuring the bigger drives, from 1TB to 4TB. Their results are mostly around 2500MB/s write and 2600MB/s read, which is higher than what Apple advertised. And I've read some articles that said bigger SSD tends to perform better speed than the smaller ones. But would the difference of write speed between a 512GB and 1TB more than 40%?
Am I having a problem with the write speed? I still haven't seen other people posted about their SSD write speed if they have a 512GB model.
