Did anyone see the linked article at the end which described very large writes to the SSD in short time frames? I think Marcan had joined in on the twitter conversation. Lots of terabytes in just a fee months. Any ideas why this might be?

- gothroach 5y agoI saw him mention it at the end of this article, but the way the link was presented caused me to lose any interest in clicking it. Is it a story worth reading?
- acidbaseextract 5y agoThe style was obnoxious I agree. If you're interested in buying an M1 MacBook — I wouldn't buy without being aware of the need to watch SSD writes. It seems like M1 devices with low memory have scenarios that they will use their SSDs crazy hard.

- akmarinov 5y agoWasn’t that debunked with the tool used to monitor the writes not being updated for M1s so it was showing garbage?
