Anyone with more knowledge on this subject I'd be happy to hear from! I will definitely do some testing and share my findings. Something to be aware of, for fastest external storage look at Thunderbolt 4, USB4, I think Thunderbolt 3 devices, also 10Gbe NAS, but probably not USB 3.1. Hopefully my existing OWC Thunderbay 4 TB3 RAID will perform decently. It seems like there are some workarounds like connecting the USB 3.1 devices through a Thunderbolt 3 dock / daisy chain, which can sometimes boost speeds back to normal. Maybe because Apple's custom TB4/USB4 controller chips are targeting TB4/USB4 devices at the expense of USB 3.1 compatibility? (Fingers crossed the M1 Ultra will be better, but I doubt it.) The Studio will be my first M1 model and it sounds like all current M1, Pro, Max computers have slower USB 3.1 read/write speeds than Intel Macs, even on the latest OS.
