WD 4TB My Passport Ultra for Mac, USB-C ready Silver. Since I see the same speeds of 110-120 MB/sec on BOTH the USB3 and Thunderbolt, I am wondering if I have the correct Thunderbolt cable to enable higher speeds, or if the 110-120 is as fast as the drive can work, regardless of the interface.Listen to a recap of the top stories of the day from 9to5Mac. I am trying to learn how fast the WD physical disk will run read and write operations.
Also, since I am seeing speeds close to the maximum (850-895 is close enough to 1000), that lets me know my Mac and cables are getting the most out of the drive. This is an example of how the read and write speeds are limited by the device and the interface.

So I am asking what read and write speeds (not disk RPM speed, or USB maximum theoretical speed) I should expect.įor example, I purchased a SanDisk Extreme Pro 1 TB SSD drive. The speed the disk reads and writes is limited by the physical disk itself, not the Thunderbolt interface. Yes, the WD drive is a physical disk drive, NOT an SSD. I’ve never had any problems with any WD My Passport drives I’ve owned, so I’m happy to overlook the extra cost of buying a cable. The cable works, but is this the best speed I should expect?ĪNNNWZZD Thunderbolt 3 Cable 40Gbps Data Transfer 100W Charging(20V, 5A) USB Type-C Cable,USB 3.1 Compatible (2.6ft)Ī: ANNNWZZD Thunderbolt 3 Cable 40Gbps Data Transfer 100W Charging(20V, 5A) USB Type-C Cable,USB 3.1 Compatible (2.6ft): Computers & Accessories This is the USB-C cable I purchased on Amazon. Is this the expected speed of he drive? I have tried asking WD Support directly via email, but they have only provided “theoretical” max USB speeds, which is not what I am asking. After buying a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cable on Amazon, I STILL see 120 MB/sec read and write speeds using the Thunderbolt ports. I was unable to connect the drive to the Mac’s Thunderbolt port with the included cable. The Blackmagic Disk Speed Test app shows 120 MB/sec read and write speeds on my new 2020 M1 Mac Mini on USB 3.0. I want to use my M1 Mac Mini’s Thunderbolt port for maximum speed. The drive works great – I’m trying to understand how fast it SHOULD run… I reformatted it to APFS in Disk Utility. I purchased the WD My Passport Ultra 5 TB drive.
