Samsung PCIe SSD Found Inside Mid-2013 MBA Can you imagine how the ongoing Apple/Samsung disputes might take on a new face if most knew that their beloved Apple products performed as they did because of the Samsung components inside? The simple truth is that Apple would have nowhere near the success we see today without those Samsung components, and conversely, Samsung would also suffer a huge loss in their coffers without Apple. In their defence, neither they nor their manufacturers are at will to speak of such things due to confidentiality agreements. Apple has changed this by introducing SanDisk’s newest PCIe SSD for use with their newest PCIe SSD enabled systems, now utilizing either the SanDisk or the Samsung in Mac systems.
A typical SATA 3 SSD bottlenecks at about 550MB/s, whereas, newer PCIe SSDs have tested over 1GB/s, Apple coming in with speeds of 824MB/s read and 757MB/s write in our Mid-2013 MBA testing.Īll testing to date has been with Samsung configured M.2 PCIe SSDs, and until the release of the new late 2013 version Apple products (specifically the MacBook Pro), there has really been no competition for Samsung in the M.2 PCIe world. To give you an idea how much faster, the chart below is a summary of our testing of native PCIe SSDs, to that of SATA 3 products whether they be M.2 (NGFF) or notebook SSDs. To keep it very simple, data transfer is much faster to and from a PCIe device, than that of a SATA 3 device. This shouldn’t be that concerning, considering that Apple has recently doubled the speeds of newer Mac products in our jump from SATA 3 to PCIe SSDs. SanDisk PCIe SSD Found Inside Late-2013 MBP Simply, the high-capacity SSD of your 2012 Apple MBA will not work in your 2013 MBA.
Not only can the SSD in Apple’s new Mac products not be upgraded with third-party SSDs, but also, they can’t even be switched off with SSDs of previous Apple releases. Apple does this and carries things a step further by demanding that components, such as the SSDs, are proprietary to a specific build only. The practice of using unbranded peripherals in computers is common.
