SSD vs. 7200RPM Drive Tests
So I was curious... what would the BlackMagic Disk Speed Test show if I ran it on a 7200RPM Lacie D2 Thunderbolt 2 external (4TB) vs. a Samsung EVO 860 (2TB) SSD with USB 3.0 external dock vs. a Samsung EVO 860 (2TB) SSD with a Thunderbolt 2 external dock?
Mac Pro 2013 3.5GHz 6-core Intel Xeon E5 / 32GB RAM / High Sierra Results below Lacie 7200RPM D2 TB 2 external: Write: 192 MB/s -- Read: 196 MB/s Samsung EVO 860 SSD USB 3.0 external: Write: 252 MB/s -- Read: 266 MB/s Samsung EVO 860 SSD TB 2 external: Write: 336 MB/s -- Read: 383 MB/s Thought others might find this interesting... |

Re: SSD vs. 7200RPM Drive Tests
Now check your Samsung usb test straight into the USB3.1gen2 ports found on the computer vs the USB3.0 or Usb 3.1gen1 port found on the dock.

I think the 2013 Mac Pro is only usb 3.0 not 3.1 (correct me if I am wrong).

According to everymac.com no 2013 Mac Pro has USB 3.1 ports but plain vanilla USB3 ports. Same for the new cheesegraters. Now one can put cards with USB 3.1 ports on them in the original cheesegraters.

The newer USB 3.1 ports (10Gbps) are USB 3.1gen2. The USB trade group is a tricky one. And the new Mac Pro (coming soon!) has USB 3.1gen2. If you look at everymac it or click on the USB line, it says Quote:

there's this little bit of data: USB-C, USB 3.1, and Transfer Rates USB 3.1 is a new USB standard. USB 3‘s theoretical bandwidth is 5 Gbps, while USB 3.1’s is 10 Gbps. That’s double the bandwidth—as fast as a first-generation Thunderbolt connector. USB Type-C isn’t the same thing as USB 3.1, though. USB Type-C is just a connector shape, and the underlying technology could just be USB 2 or USB 3.0. In fact, Nokia’s N1 Android tablet uses a USB Type-C connector, but underneath it’s all USB 2.0—not even USB 3.0. However, these technologies are closely related. When buying devices, you’ll just need to keep your eye on the details and make sure you’re buying devices (and cables) that support USB 3.1. |
