The standard MacBook Pro 2023 and Mac mini 2023 models have slower SSD speeds than the outgoing models, testing by 9to5Mac and MacRumors has revealed.

When we recently detailed how to boost the storage space in a MacBook Air with a replacement solid state drive module, some readers asked what it would be like to swap the hard drive in an older ...

2018 MacBook Pro Features 'Fastest SSD Ever' in a Laptop According to Benchmarks Friday July 13, 2018 1:30 pm PDT by Juli Clover ...

Swapping your MacBook Air’s or Retina MacBook Pro’s SSD is generally a pretty easy process, and the benefits are obvious: you’re virtually guaranteed to enjoy much more storage capacity, and ...

The MacBook Pro (2023) has worse SSD read/write performance than its predecessor thanks to a change in how the storage is configured.

This results in SSD read and write performance that’s dramatically lower than the previous generation. The base model M1 and M2 MacBook Air provide just 256GB of storage.

We started off comparing the SSD speed which was faster and more consistent in the new MacBook.

Some tests of the base model 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip showed that SSD speeds were slower even in real-world usage, but results have been mixed.

The 256GB M3 MacBook Air features faster SSD storage than the M2 variant - here's how Apple fixed this "problem" we didn't really have.

We see an interesting contrast with the SSD inside each of these systems. In this case of the MacBook Air M2, it delivered a read speed that was a smidge faster than the Pro M2 at 2,800 vs 2,794 MBps.

You can add a similar spring to the step of an aging MacBook or MacBook Pro by replacing its spinning platter with a fast SSD.
