![]() It is striking that many users report that the speed settles at 350 – 380 MB/s. A prominent example is a Samsung T5, whose data rate often drops from around 470 MB/s to around 360 MB/s. What we noticed is the loss of speed with external SSDs connected via USB-C, where the reduction is sometimes several 100 MB/s. SSD on M1 MacBook or Mac mini with slow 5 Gbit/s Also, we do not care here about the fact that the USB speed on M1 seems to be basically a bit worse than on Intel Macs. So, if you have connected your SSD with a USB-A to USB-C cable due to the limited ports on the back of the Mac mini, for example, the speed decrease is simply due to the fact that the USB-A variant does not support more than 5 Gbps. ![]() We want to exclude two factors for now: the connection to the USB-A ports limits the speed to 5 Gbps. If you have a new M1 Mac, you might have noticed that external drives connected via USB-C often run much slower than on Intel machines.
