The new base model of Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip, released on June 17, showed up in some tests. slower than its predecessor, the M1. Sad news for those who paid $1,299 (R$6.8k) for the device, found by youtubers Max Tech and Created Tech in the 256MB model.
Using Blackmagic’s Disk Speed Test, testers found that SSD read speeds on the MacBook Pro M2 at least 50% slower Compared to the M1 MacBook Pro (also with 256GB storage) as of November 2020. Write speeds on the M2 also turned out to be 30% slower.
Max Tech team decided to disassemble the new Apple device and one of the reasons for the slowness is, apple company only uses a non-volatile NAND memory chip. The M1 model uses two 128GB NAND chips.
How to fix SSD slow issue on MacBook Pro M2?
If slower SSD speeds on the new 13-inch MacBook Pro 12 than on your old M1 are an issue for you, there are two alternatives. The first is to spend another $200 (R$1k) to get the fastest 512GB model.
However, maybe it’s better to wait a little longer and wait for the launch of the new MacBook Air, which is scheduled to hit stores in July, and see what’s new. I didn’t mean it the basic model will cost less than US$1,199 (R$6,300)..
In that case, if the base Air model also brings lower SSD speeds, there will be a 512GB version for $1,499, meaning it’ll be the same price as the current MacBook Pro M12 version, but likely with both NAND chips.
