Here's an example, a 649€ laptop: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Slim-5-15-lapto... 6200 MB/s Read, 4300 MB/s Write vs the 699€ Macbook Neo: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-MacBook-Neo-Review-Surpr... 1550 MB/s Read, 1500 MB/s Write The Neo is well below the class average. | | |
| ▲ | saltcured 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Not knowing these devices personally, I'll just say I find most of these sorts of SSD performance summaries completely useless. Too often, specs or even shallow benchmarks report little more than some theoretical peak speed from system to SSD controller RAM buffers, without any real information about reads or writes that actually go all the way to the solid state storage cells. And even when they do go all the way, they fail to really highlight performance variance for different realistic workloads... | | |
| ▲ | wtallis 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | As a general rule: any SSD benchmark that gives you a result of over 1GB/s is not measuring what's actually most important for day to day interactive use. And anything that's within a factor of two of the SSD's marketing numbers is probably relevant only to copying a single file to or from another SSD. | |
| ▲ | Melatonic 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Sustained write speed is usually important as these things heat up and often aren't cooled properly. Which is not hard to test. |

| ▲ | justinclift a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | > 6200 MB/s Read, 4300 MB/s Write That's in bursts though, not sustained. Though, that's probably completely fine for the target users for these devices. |
