SSDs and batteries are the only components (as far as I remember) that have a "guaranteed" cycle lifetime. Or in another words, a "very likely after this point"

SSDs and batteries are the only components (as far as I remember) that have a "guaranteed" cycle lifetime. Or in another words, a "very likely after this point" failure threshold.
- lxgr 3y agoI completely agree on batteries (and I believe this is in fact why most devices are being replaced was what I was getting at!), but where is that point practically for SSDs? With typical usage, it should hopefully be out many more years than the laptop gets security updates.

Especially when you're selling memory-limited hardware and shoving the swap in your SSD (And using it past the availability of security updates should be the user's prerogative, not Apple - you can run Linux on the ARM laptops)
