It is a great opportunity to ask about ssd lifespan in the M1. At the moment it's top secret and nobody knows what will happen in a year of normal usage with Big Sur.
Maybe they could change your entire motherboard if it fails after guarantee for a small fee?
- rapsey 6y agoWhy would be different to older models with ssd?
- pibefision 6y agoOlder models where not soldered on the motherboard.
- trollied 6y agoYes they were, just look at the teardown for a model from the year before: https://9to5mac.com/2019/07/12/2019-13-macbook-pro-teardown/ https://9to5mac.com/2019/07/12/2019-13-macbook-pro-teardown/
- hundchenkatze 6y agoThey've been soldering them on since the 2016 MBP[0]. I thought you were referring to the reports of unusually high writes on M1 macs, thus shortening the life of SSDs[1].

- DVk6dqsfyx5i3ii 6y agoUnless by older you mean over 5 years old that is incorrect.
- hundchenkatze 6y agoThere were reports of higher than normal writes on M1 based macs not long ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26244093 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26244093
- mrkstu 6y agoThey cannot truly boot externally- even when you do boot external there is an initial dependency on the SSD, so if it fails you have an expensive brick.
