3-Bromo-1-butene and 1-bromo-2-butene undergo SN1 reaction at nearly the same rate, even though one is a secondary halide and the other is primary. Explain

3-Bromo-1-butene and 1-bromo-2-butene undergo S_N 1 reaction at nearly the same rate even though one is a secondary halide and the other is primary. Explain.
When 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene is treated with HBr alone, the major product is 2-bromo-2,3-dimethylbutane. When the same alkene is treated with HBr and peroxide, the sole product is 1-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutane. Explain these results by referring to the mechanisms.
