Apparently, the new M2 powered Macs also suffer from a slower SSD due to the use of a single NAND storage device, versus multiple chips on the M1 generation, including the Pro and Max lineup, even for 512GB storage options.
This is causing the 512GB SSD Macs to reach Read/Write speeds of ~3.2GB/s as opposed to 4.7GB/s in the previous generations, which is quite a sad downgrade.
For 512GB models, is this something that could impact music production in Logic a lot?
I’m considering getting myself an M2 Pro Mac Mini - I’ve been waiting for this one since the M1 Pro Macbooks were launched - but now I’m afraid the M1 Max Mac Studio or even a M1 Pro Macbook might better bang for the buck. Not sure if the M2 Pro performance increase is worth the SSD downgrade.
Thanks! 🙂
