A new MagSafe connector 2, the introduction of USB 3.0 ports, upgrade to the new Intel CPU Ivy Bridge, installation of a FaceTime HD camera, the expansion up to 8GB of ram, and using multiple SSD capacious and fast changes are certainly to be reckoned with in the replacement of your laptop.
We have already seen, in the classical charts Geekbench 2012 as the new MacBook Air has achieved an improved performance by about 20% over the previous generation, at least in a purely computational point of view. But how will the SSD mounted in this new model? This question has tried to answer osxdaily that, through specific tests using the Disk Speed Test utility available for free in Mac App Store , has revealed some very interesting results.
In addition to the two images presented in this article, you show the freeze frame of the maximum speed reached by the two generations of SSD, we present below the results of the last three generations of MacBook Air:
- MacBook Air SSD 2012 : write 364MB/sec, 461MB/sec read
- MacBook Air SSD 2011 : write 152MB/sec, 145MB/sec read
- MacBook Air SSD 2010 : write 157MB/sec, 188MB/sec read
Therefore, amounting to 217% with respect to the SSD MacBook Air that will surely make you feel even daily use of OS X Lion Mountain Lion before and after. Interestingly, the SSD mounted in the new MBA 2012, the Toshiba TS128E, while in the two previous models it comes to Samsung components.
In view of these results, you will change your "old" MacBook Air with the new model? Or the performance of previous generation are still more than satisfactory? by
