A big thank-you to B&H Photo for sending the $7999 Apple Mac Studio M1 Ultra 20-core CPU / 64-core GPU/ 128GB / 8TB SSD for review. This is exactly the configuration I would buy excepting a preference for a 4TB SSD (only to keep the cost down).

Similar to the 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max in behavior, the Apple Studio M1 Ultra has a very fast, but rather erratic SSD performance. See the two tests and the discussion.

Sustained transfer speed writing 1000 files of 5.65 GiB each to 6TB ~= 25.65TiB APFS volume
