![]() Without caching enabled, write speeds were reduced to around 1,000MB/s, though read speeds were still close to the theoretical 2,700MB/s limits. We also discovered that on our Z170 chipset motherboard and Core i5-6500 test platform, this was insufficiently powerful enough to feed the Thunderbolt bus on the 480GB capacity review drive without enabling write caching. This decrease is due to the lower number of NAND modules that reduces the throughput when writing and is an inherent problem with smaller capacity SSDs and the NAND packages they use. ![]() Where on each capacity, the read speed holds up well, on the 240GB model, the write performance is reduced to around just 1,145MB/s. Using a MacBook Pro 16 M1, the best speed achieved was 2,044 MB/s write 2506 MB reads on the 2TB capacity drive. OWC has published a collection of benchmarks that outline the speeds that can be achieved with optimal configurations.
