M2 Pro Mac Mini 512gb SSD is single NANDI just saw a new video comparing the M2 Pro in various computers -- all have the 512gb SSD. The M2 MBA in the chart has the slow 256gb SSD. The 512gb SSD in the M2 Pro MBPs is a lot faster than the one in the M2 Pro Mini. The M1 Mini 512gb SSD was probably about the same as this M2 Pro Mini, but I do not recall.

Really? They now start the same BS with the pro line? I bought in December a MBP M1 with 1TB but 512 would also have been two NANDs right?14" M2 Pro MBP 512gb SSD is single NANDI just saw a new video comparing the M2 Pro in various computers -- all have the 512gb SSD.

Oh, I see now. You are one of those people who take the time to post and criticize articles and videos you do not even bother to read/view so that you will at least know what you are criticizing. The result is often non-sensical criticism that has little or nothing to do with the article/video. One of the banes of the internet, IMO.
as opposed to the legions of fanatics who post gushing non videos, and then take it personally when any critique is raised?Oh, I see now.

It turns out that there are 2 NANDs in his Mini. See the comment under the video and his response. Turns out that the other NAND slot is on the opposite side.M2 Pro Mac Mini 512gb SSD is single NANDI just saw a new video comparing the M2 Pro in various computers -- all have the 512gb SSD.

Someone posted this M2 Mini 512gb SSD speed test. I think this is a bit faster than the M1 Mini 512gb SSD.

The test method can make quite a big difference - the size of the block of data used is also very important - the best you can do is look at the relative differences between devices and between read and write with same program and same parameters.Here is another speed test with somewhat different results.

Thanks for posting that! I don't have time to watch all these videos, so I really appreciate your selecting a meaningful screenshot.Here is another speed test with somewhat different results. Maybe a different test program?
Yes, base models are now consistently slower in SSD speed. There are plenty of videos out that uncovered this for the new M2 models.Thanks for posting that!

Presumably the M2 Air with 256GB vs 512GB storage have similar performance numbers.
Perhaps also M2 Pro with 512GB vs 1TB storage, but I haven't seen evidence.
The highest numbers will come from tests that copy a single giant object, like a DVD image. Those are the ones that are advertised, but it often doesn't apply much to the experience of the user. SATA based SSDs did 500MB/s. NVME does 3000, 5000, 7000, and now getting over 10000MB/s. But for most of the time, the user wouldn't know the difference. But on the Mx processors where paging is done to the SSD, esp on the 8gb models, it may be substantial impact when the system is over committed.Here is another speed test with somewhat different results. Maybe a different test program?
Yes, that is true. Actually, I dislike the ubiquitous BlackMagic drive speed program. I like the AmorphousDiskMark program (on Apple Store for free) which is the same as the CrystalDiskMark program for PCs. In today's video comparing the M1 Pro 16gb/512gb to M2 Pro 16gb/512gb in my link below it was used and in addition to big sequential 1gb reads/writes it also does random 4kb reads/writes.

This is the result when a browser with a few tabs was open and Lightroom Classic running (only those 2 programs open). This resulted in some swapping on both so the M1 Pro with an SSD that was much faster beat the M2 Pro.

He has done several videos comparing his real world usage: M2 Pro Mini, M1 Max Studio, and the PC he built above. Mostly his work involves video and 3D rendering though. This is the latest one:
