The US$1,299 base model of Apple’s new 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 chip and 256GB of storage has “significantly slower SSD read/write speeds compared to the equivalent previous-generation model,” according to MacRumors.
The article notes that YouTube channels such as Max Tech and Created Tech tested the 256GB model with Blackmagic’s Disk Speed Test app and found that the SSD’s read and write speeds are both around 1,450 MB/s, which is around 50% slower reading and around 30% slower writing compared to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 chip and 256GB of storage.
