I recently purchased a Mac Studio M1. Tore it apart to see if the SSD card was up gradable,NOT. The SSD AP0512R that is installed is married using firmware or controller chips that only deal with the present SSD that comes with. Why? Also, there is a SSD slot on the other side but no controller chips? Is Apple teasing us?
Parallels, 10.14
<<. All SSD's have a finite write capacity, meaning they can only be written to a certain number of times. >>
you are correct, BUT:
the SCALE of the number of writes supported is ENORMOUS!
--------
one user wrote that they had written a distressing (to them) 6 TB of writes to their SSD in only a year. They were quite alarmed.
A quick calculation showed they would run out of re-write capability...
... in about 60 YEARS !
If you want to keep that exact model Mac for more than 60 years, clearly that one is not for you.
i blive the mand controller is in the doc the M1 chip and apple dose limit it but according to let you can change the ssd when it eventually fails and just a quick note the laptop that im typing this on is a 2019 13 inc MacBook Pro and this is my aunt's laptop my laptop broke and I'm at there place this laptop had 2 logic board repayments one by the ssd nand failure shorting the nand to ground and one out of warranty by a hand failure causing the computer to try to startup but fail to even loading boot picker or internet recovery
