Has the problem with the high defect rate of SSDs been resolved? Not to long ago, I remember reading of many defects after about 1 year of usage. A SSD defect would now effectively brick the whole MacBook Pro.
- acdha 14y agoIt never existed for the Apple branded SSDs - the people who reported that were people who bought the cheapest SSDs and used them with non-SSD-aware filesystems which overwrote the same blocks repeatedly. SSDs with smarter controllers and filesystems which don't abuse the disk make a huge difference. Apple controls all of these so they should have a much better idea of the reliability factor - and even if you pay for repairs, there's a high risk that an early failure will make you less likely to buy from them next time.
