The base 256GB M3 13-inch MacBook Air gets a new SSD that’s 82% faster than the M2 model.
This was achieved by using two 128 GB NAND memory modules in the MacBook Air with M3 (as in the MacBook Air with M1). The M2 version uses a single 256GB NAND chip, making the SSD much slower than the M1 and M3 MacBook Air.
After the release of the MacBook Air with M2, users criticized Apple for this decision. As a result, the company listened to the feedback and returned the previous SSD architecture.
SSD speed in MacBook Air with M2 and M3
Speed records:
▪️ MacBook Air M2: 1584 MB/s
▪️ MacBook Air M3: 2108 MB/s
Reading speed:
▪️ MacBook Air M2: 1576 MB/s
▪️ MacBook Air M3: 2880 MB/s
Probably, everything also applies most of all to the new 15-inch MacBook Air with M3, it has so far been disassembled and although not compared with the M2 brand. [9to5Mac]
