In unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction, the intermediate formed is carbocation. More stable the intermediate more fast will be the reaction. Stability of carbocation: Tertiary carbocation > secondary carbocation > primary carbocation. In case of 2-chloro-2-methylpropane, the carbocation formed is tertiary which is most stable. Thus 2-chloro-2-methylpropane will react faster in under SN1 mechanism. Steric hindrance in reactant favors the SN1 reaction. More number of branched carbon atom more will be the stability of carbocation. Cl- being good leaving group, enhance the rate of reaction.
