Is 1TB SSD faster than 512GB SSD?

[czz]

For the 2019 iMac, anyone has any idea if that is true? I remember someone posted when Mac mini came out that the larger the SDD the faster it is. I wonder if that also is the case for iMac? If so, by how much?
Thanks!

I asked a similar question and it seems like people are getting similar speeds on both SSD sizes.

I think there are slight differences but nothing to worry about. All of the internal SSD's are smoking fast.

Most SSDs will test a slight bit faster as they get larger. Tom’s and other sites will show colored graphics and you can see this.

Effect on real world performance=0

Unless...

There are users who need a large SSD. Work files for many apps perform better on the boot drive. This is a completely different issue.

That's very informative! Thanks.

512GB is large enough for my usage. I was thinking if the 1TB is a lot faster I'm willing to pay a little bit more to get the extra performance. Now it looks like they are really close in terms of speed. So 512GB it is!

Not that you would notice czz so save your bucksa maybe for an external backup drive.
