This is the sort of speed difference thatвЂ™s dramatic, instantly noticeable, and likely to really improve your day to day Mac experience. The same drive placed inside an iMac, or connected via USB 3.0, could reach four or five times that speed -В around 100-120MB/second.Д«ut pop an SSD like the top-selling Samsung 850 EVO IвЂ™ve recommended into the same iMac, and these are the kind of speeds you can see: around 500MB/second, five times faster than a traditional hard drive. Speeds in the 25-30 Megabyte per second (MB/s) rangeВ are slow -В what youвЂ™d expect from an external hard drive connected via USB 2.0.

The driveвЂ™s Read speed is on the right, with the Write speed on the left, respectively giving you a sense of how fast apps and videos will load, and how fast things you create will be written to the drive.

You only need to focus on the two big gauges. Unless youвЂ™re editing video, those details (summarized in the Will it Work? and How Fast? charts below the speedometers) wonвЂ™t matter at all to you.
