Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough

Opens chrome on a 8GB Mac. Sees lifespan of SSD being reduced by 50%. After 2-3 years of heavy usage SSD starts to get errors. Apple solution: buy a new one. No wonder they are 2nd/3rd wealthiest company on the planet.

Buy a new SSD and swap out the old one?
…but a new SSD, right??

SSD is soldered to the board. With only 8GB you’ll be using the swap partiton a lot so for anything exceeding 8GB of RAM you will be using the SSD as a slower “RAM” which will wear it’s lifespan down by constantly writing/reading into it’ s swap partition.

No you don’t understand the architecture is different and so the laws of physics don’t apply. Constantly energizing and de-energizing capacitors can only increase life expectancy, everyone knows that.

The only people more cultish than Apple fans are Tesla/Elongated Muskrat fans.

You don’t get the most valuable company by selling an SSD. So, yeah a new Mac of course.

Well they do charge particularly hard for SSDs as well. They’ve found a way to eat the cake twice.

I think SSDs are also soldered to the mainboard on most apple products.

The Mac Studio uses a standard NVMe SSD but if you replace it with anything that you didn’t buy from Apple with a 500%+ markup, the new drive simply won’t work.
