The M2 Pro model scored read speeds of 2,973 MB/s and write speeds of 3,154 MB/s in the Blackmagic speed test. The SSD in the M1 Pro performs substantially better in the same test. Its read and write speeds are 4,900 and 3,950 MB/s, respectively. These findings show that the M1 Pro model has a lot quicker SSD than the M2 Pro variant.
9to5Mac researched the SSD speeds on the bottom 14-inch MacGuide Pro after having similar problems with the M2 MacGuide Air and MacGuide Pro. Last year, we discovered that the M2 workstations’ cheapest versions had slower SSD storage than their M1 equivalents. This seems to be a repeating theme with Apple’s latest models since MacRumors discovered that the SSD speeds on the 256GB M2 Mac mini are slower than the prior generation.
