SSD speeds on 'new' 2013 Mac Pros currently sold via Apple.com

[mattwestside]

I have a quick question about the SSDs on the Mac Pros that are currently being sold as new from Apple.

I understand there was a spec bump to eliminate the quad-core and D300 variants. But I haven't been able to find any info on whether Apple has bumped the PCIe/SSD transfer speeds in the current versions being sold by them. I appreciate any light that could be shed on this!

Thanks - I saw that page too! I am trying to figure out if the 'latest' versions had a spec bump in their SSDs because even my beloved (but outdated) 2015 rMBP 15 absolutely obliterates the transfer speeds on that page and if there weren't, say, a limitation on architecture you'd think Apple would throw in some faster performing sticks for the prices they still charge.

There's this: https://macperformanceguide.com/MacPro2013-performance-SSD.html

Keep in mind that this was a time when Apple was making great strides in disk I/0. So what was phenomenal in 2013 was only "so-so" a couple of years later.

But the read speeds on my 2013 MBP are about 1500MB, and write is about 850 (Black Magic Design Test).

For the last couple of years the SSDs shipping with the 2013 MP are the faster SSUBX - SMxxxG versions. Max speed for the 4x PCIe Gen2. Up to 1500MB/s read.

These are the speeds I’m getting from my 2013 MP that was bto in April 2018.
