This is no different from spinning rust. Which is why the assertion that "swap is going to cause my SSD to fail!" crowd just makes no sense and likely lacks the technical knowledge to make that assessment (see this thread for lack of understanding of what 'virtual memory' means).
- smoldesu 3y agoThe original point of my comment was not to assert "disc superiority" or whatever you've interpreted it as. Characterizing hardware failure as "FUD" is wrong and in plain denial of how these systems die. I use SSDs, I have had flash storage fail on me, and considering how embedded and small the majority of Apple SSDs are, I'm not convinced their drives will outlive the useful lifespan of the machine. Draw your own conclusions accordingly.
