- wmf 2y agoOrdinary SSDs have been NVMe for years and have similar performance to Apple NVMe SSDs.
- brailsafe 2y agoIt depends what the person meant by ordinary, but if ordinary just generally refers to "off-the-shelf" or commodity SSDs, then we've been able to get equivalent or better performing NVMe SSDs for a long time, for a small fraction of the price. Within what you can get retail, I think you'd still want the higher end of it for comparable speeds and yields, but would still save A LOT doing so.

- anvuong 2y agoWhat year are you currently living in? A good 2TB Gen5 NVMe with W/R speed upto 7,000MB/s can be had for less than $200 during sales that happen multiple times a year. Go down 1 tier lower to 4,000-5,000MB/s and you can have one for just $120. Nobody puts SATA in premium laptops, hasn't been the case for quite the few years, you got brainwashed good by Apple.
- fennecbutt 2y agoStop repeating Apple's marketing BS that their SSDs are magically faster, especially since Apple do not manufacture them. Look up and understand how the hardware works first before you shill Apple's stuff.
