I can’t find any evidence that the inbuilt iPad Pro SSD is faster than modern NVMe SSDs. It’s somewhere between 1 and 3 GB/s depending on the model. The Crucial P5 I got ran quite happily in the PS5 at about 5GB/s.
It’s all very much a muchness for the kind of loads that iPads will typically be handling anyway. I doubt there’s anything that can process data fast enough to make the SSD the bottleneck.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to explain, but it something about the bus between the CPU and the SSD that makes it so ridiculous.
Super good point on the “iPad isn’t gonna be doing much/anything that NEEDS that speed” though. Most people aren’t editing 4k video or whatever on it.
