Apple’s new MacBook Pro refresh might just have the fastest SSD on the market, according to several new reports.
Early benchmark testing of the 2016 MacBook Pro’s SSD seem to confirm Apple’s claim that it’s outfitted with the fastest-ever SSD. Cupertino claims that both MacBook Pro versions boast read speeds of 3.1 gigabytes per second, and write speeds of 2.2 gigabytes per second for the 15-inch model, and 2.1 gigabytes per second for the 13-inch model. OWC benchmarks seem to confirm Apple’s claims — at least, for the 13-inch MacBook Pro. In contrast, the 2015 MacBook Pro model benchmarked at 1.5 gigabytes per second when reading from the drive, and 1.3 gigabytes per second when writing to it, AppleInsider reported.
If Apple’s claims about its new MacBook Pro turn out to be verifiably accurate — and early reports seem to point to the claims being true — then the 2016 lineup will feature the fastest read and write speeds of any stock computer currently available on the market. In fact, Apple might just be two years ahead of its competition when it comes to drive read / write speeds, according to ComputerWorld.
The new MacBook Pro’s blazing fast SSD read and write speeds could also help users alleviate minor speed issues due to the MacBook Pro’s less-than-groundbreaking 16 gigabyte RAM cap, which supposedly helps the new MacBook computer save on battery life. Most users will notice a speed boost while booting up or running applications, but users who deal with large working files, such as video editing, should see a huge performance lift.
Apple unveiled the 2016 MacBook Pro refresh at its “Hello Again” event last Thursday. The lineup starts at $1,499 and is due to start shipping in two to three weeks, Apple said.
