Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro

Hi all new here and live in the UK. I've got a Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro (SSD) 256gb 8gb ram under 12 months old. I had OS X Mavericks when new and I've updated to OS X Yosemite. Now when I had Mavericks and using Blackmagic Disk Speed test I got around 680MB/s Write and 700+ on Read first screen shot. But now I'm only getting 350MB/s Write and 560MB/s on Read second screen shot (Media Name: APPLE SSD SD0256F) is this normal with updating to Yosemite????.

Medium Type: SSD

Protocol: PCI

Thanks Michael.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Hello Michael

I have a 2010 MacBook and you can imagine how slow my system would be with Yosemite. However, I just had a make a few tweaks here and there and I am now getting a comparatively a better result than before. Since you have a relatively newer Macbook, you can definitely make these tweaks and see if it works out for you.

Good luck!

Hi samridh

The overall performance of the Macbook Pro is fine and I'm happy with the machine, I've had no problems at all. But it's just from the Blackmagic disk test results being slow now I've upgraded to Yosemite and wanted to know is it normal for it to be like this??

Thanks again

Yes it is normal for the system to become a tad slower. As new Macs release each year, the predecessor Macs become a bit slower as the software is optimized for the newer Macs entering the market. Hope it makes sense. But yeah, it is quite normal and shouldn't worry much about it all.
