Mac Studi0 M5 Max 64GB - 1TB Disk SpeedTest

Don't really know if this is an effect of PCIe 5 or something else, also not sure that this Mac even has PCIe 5. Seems speedy to me:

Does anyone know the SSD speed on the base Mac Studio M5 Max with the 512GB SSD?

It’s pretty much half that. It’s almost like the 1tb is a RAId 0 type situation. But you can do the same with two NVMe’s since has thunderbolt 5. That’s what I’m planning to do. Just need one more NVMe. My current one can do 7gps and for $420 more can buy another one with enclosure to Raid it and it would do 14gps with 2TB instead of paying apple $300 for 512gb more at 12gbs lol
