Extremely slow external SSD read and write speed after Ventura update - MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max

There is no app called "open". Did it say anything else? Can you provide a screenshot? It would be helpful to know which specific system modification software is causing this. Unfortunately, Ventura's new "Login Items" interface is not Apple's finest work. Most items are clearly identified. But these are the ones least likely to cause any problems. But if you have flaky things or malicious software, they are very difficult to identify using this interface. Ironically, such apps are extremely easy to identify anywhere other than in Apple's interface.

yep. i'm definitely noticing significantly slower read/write speeds from my sandisk extreme ssd since the upgrade to ventura.

i guess not enough to very adversely affect what i do with media, but if i did this for a living i would really be freaking out.

and like a few have mentioned: no, i don't expect this to get resolved anytime soon.

Since upgrading to Ventura on my iMac it takes an age for some of my external SSDs to mount. Sometimes more than ten minutes. I am a Logic user and have several terrabytes of plugins across four drives. Data transfer speed seems to be affected as well since some of the sounds are unusable since installing Ventura - presumably because data x-fer speeds are so slow. I note that this only seems to affect y Samsung T7 drives. My Samsung T5 is behaving as normal.

We just received a 16" MacBook Pro with M1 Max, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD with Ventura. On a M1 Mac Mini running Monterey, we use a 2TB Western Digital NVMe in an OWC Envoy Express Thunderbolt 3 Bus-Powered Enclosure for M.2 NVMe SSD. I was concerned about the reports of slow-downs. So, I just ran the Blackmagic Speed Test on the M1 Max - same as I did on the Mac Mini - and the result was the same. Both tests returned the same read speed of 1501 MB/sec.

I have same issue. I have try every format. doesn't work.

But very strange things was that write slow issues only in Kingtone M.2 2000G

(I have 5 USB-SSDs , others all are working fine)

And my Kingstone M.1 2TB was also working fine.

Only the M.2 2000G has this issue(I just bought for 2 weeks) and I only use 500G storage.

In addition to now taking over twice as long to do my data backups, I also have to babysit my external drives when deleting files to make space. I keep getting told roughly every 5 seconds a random folder is in use when it clearly isn't. This is a BIG workflow issue.

Well, Apple asks what is on my mind.... What can I say....

With the SSD problem I have one conclusion: Inside Apple no one uses Apple, right ? Otherwise it MUST HAVE BEEN NOTED before release of Ventura.

We paid a lot for our 2 MAC-PRO's, but in this way they render useless.

I am sorry to say, but what a shame that Apple releases software like this...

Having nightmares trying to mount WD 2T and 4T on my MBP 16 2022 ! It works on my PC but after recent updates Sonoma it takes ages to mount. Any suggestions?? Or give up and buy new WD SDD ? They are not too full about 30% empty.

2019 Mac Pro Ventura

I have 2

After upgrading to Ventura it takes several seconds to read any information from an internal SATA physical drive.

When I click on a folder in Finder (that is on the real HD,)Finder just sits there for several seconds before any of the contents appear.

After they do the read and write speed is normal.

It’s as if the drive is completely asleep and has to spin up first.

Ventura offers no way to control HD sleep characteristics like previous OS’s did

I realize that the all new Macs are focused on SSD’s, but they should still work with the zillions of physical drives that are still in use.

Hoping for a fix.

This example does not apply to my situation.

I am using a Mac Pro, not aMacBook Pro.

The new Mac Pro’s come with proprietary SSD’s, but you can use HDD’s that mount inside and connect vis SATA cables.

The HDDs on the old Mac Pro’s used to literally plug directly into the motherboard and were as fast as lightning to connect.

The new SATA wired HDD's act as if they are sleeping and thus, you have to wait while they wake up.

After they do, they access data normally.

The new Energy Saver settings only have an on-off setting for putting HDD’s to sleep.

A time-out feature would be welcome, because they seem to go to sleep shortly after the last bite of data is read.

I have the Same issue, it is very annoying that Apple don't fix this this problem.

No issue with BlackMagic speed test using Monterey or Ventura but on Intel Macs. However, I did notice that the drives on Ventura run about 10% slower than with Monterey.

Unfortunately I can't downgrade because of security/compliance reasons. Is there any other solutions?
