Testing conducted by Apple in June 2018 using preproduction 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD; and preproduction 2.6GHz 6-core Intel Core i7-based 15-inch MacBook Pro systems with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. I have to differ with this statement. I have an external 250Gig SSD drive in a USB3 enclosure as a start up disc on my 2013 27' iMac running Mavericks. Doing a Disk Speed Test the SSD is returning 220MB/s write and 250MB/s read speed. The internal Mac HDD is running at 74MB/s read and 87MB/s write. The start up time has reduced from 90sec to 32sec.
