$100 with commodity SSD storage.
You answered your own question there. Apple doesn't used "commodity" SSD storage. Apple's SSDs are enterprise-grade, not bottom-of-the-barrel commodity parts.
- blibble 4y agoprobably don't need SLC with 300% redundancy in my laptop
- labcomputer 4y agoApple SSDs perform no better than commodity SSDs that cost 20% as much. And Apple is just buying flash chips from someone else. There’s no “apple silicon” equivalent for SSDs.
- sliken 4y agoSort of, a traditional SSD is a combination of flash storage and a flash controller. Apple puts the flash controller inside their apple silicon.
- kennend3 4y ago"You answered your own question there. Apple doesn't used "commodity" SSD storage." what a weaird thing to say... So.. tell us.. where does apple get its SSD's if it is not "commodity"? Do they have their own SSD factory? Then you write "Apple's SSDs are enterprise-grade"... So like "commodity" right? Meaning others can buy "enterprise grade" SSD's and upgrade their non-apple laptops wtih them if they wanted to?
