MacBookPro5,2 with 8 GB memory.
With the Seagate, soon after I gave it to ZEVO, I recall getting easily between 60 and 80 MB/s … something like that. (I might have screenshots etc. somewhere but if they coincided with an unreleased build of OS X it'll be inappropriate for me to share the details.)
Nowadays, speeds are not amazing. I
wonder whether occasional or extended 'breaking' of free space thresholds had a negative impact. The 2 TB Seagate recently fell to less than 6 GB free when I was careless with send and receive.
Whilst the speeds aren't amazing, I'm very
pleased with overall performance of the computer.
