If AI wants to talk to OWC and Apple about this, that's fine with me. These tests were done on almost brand new M1 Macs, not just mine. Read speeds are slower, which is understandable. Using the same external drive, I can actually get faster write speeds using my TB2 2015 iMac going through the Apple TB2 to TB3 adaptor. I've used a variety of speedtest apps and they all demonstrate this issue. You can say the speed reporting of the applications might be a bug but it doesn't make sense when my internal speed is in the 2300MB/s range on both R&W. It isn't just me, it's also OWC/MacSales getting the same results. Read speed is >2000MB/s while write speed works hard to get to 1000MB/s. I didn't say anything about SSD wear, everything I said was about the lack of write speed to a variety of external TB3 drives using fast NVMe blades. According to that source, it was not believed to be an actual hardware issue with the SSD, nor were the SSDs aging notably faster than prior because of RAM swap or other reasons.” The Envoy Pro USB 3.0 Enclosure from Other World Computing is an external enclosure that is designed to house the original SSD found in select 13' and 15' MacBook Pro Retina (Mid 2012 to Early 2013) models as well as 21.5' and 27' iMac (Late 2012 to Early 2013) systems. As Apple insider reported back in June, “At the time, an AppleInsider source within Apple, not authorized to speak on behalf the company, told us that it was a data reporting error within the tools used to report SSD wear. I’m pretty sure that this issue was just a reporting bug rather than an actual SSD wear concern. Still waiting to see M1 Mac speed tests and when Apple will fix the read issues on all M1 Macs.
