<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> the pricing is indeed steep, but not as steep as people think. The SSDs in the MacBook Pros so far have been enterprise class SSDs that can handle a lot more wear and tear than run of the mill SSDs people are comparing them to.</p><p>This guy ran a test to try and kill the SSDs on his M1 Mac Minis. By the time he reported his numbers, he had already exceeded the lifespan rating of one of his drives by almost 7 times.</p><p><a href="https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-silicon-soldered-ssd-upgrade-thread.2417822/?post=32921841" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">forums.macrumors.com/threads/a</span><span class="invisible">pple-silicon-soldered-ssd-upgrade-thread.2417822/?post=32921841</span></a></p><p>Lifespan ratings returned from drive diagnostic tools also indicate that these are not standard consumer drives and there may be good reason for that as MacOS has an extremely active memory swapping scheme that allows it run well on less RAM. I had to use a low spec 8GB M1 for a short period of time and I racked up 1TB of disk writes a day compiling software. </p><p>I thought that was an insane way to stress a drive, but what the guy I&#39;m referencing did puts my 1TB/a day to absolute shame.</p><p>Still... the cost bites. I&#39;d be fine with cheaper SSDs and a lower price.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> Apple pricing has been like this for decades. Nothing new. However I have an old work spec’d Mac laptop with 128GB disk that is a complete pain in the neck to do software updates on, as it’s too full unless I spend a bunch of time removing stuff.</p>

<p>Look at the design on this bag. It&#39;s good. I feel very silly using an international telecommunications network to tell you I like this piece of actual litter but I do like the design on this bag</p>
