<p>Marketing always says the bus speeds. Theoretical throughput.</p>
<p>When we post actual "results", we use real world benchmarks (like AJA System test), with published CPU and drive configurations, on freshly created volumes. I would have to look that up for your setup, or repeat the test, to give you real world data.</p>
<p>But use AJA System test for testing, with these settings, so you can compare with other results:<br />Go to the App store and get AJA System Test Lite.<br />Run AJA, set resolution to 8K video, Codec to 16bitRGBA, and file size to 64GB. <br />Next, in settings, check "Dual DMA engine".<br />Select your volume to test.<br />See what results you get.</p>
<p>Its as close to a "standardized" result as you can get.</p>
<p>M series is faster on writes than intel, as its more efficient on CPU usage.</p>

Read speed is good at 1759 MB/sec, but write is only 670.  Seems quite slow to me giving the speed of the drives, and connection.  Also with four drives should I be getting max throughput since each drive is using a PCIe lane? I am running an Intel Mac with Thunderbolt 3.</span></p>]]></content:encoded>
