18:26, with multiple ad breaks, lead in ads, etc. Reminds me of that Rene Ritchie video where he spends 10 minutes telling the "truth" about 8 vs 16GB, where the "truth" (according to him) could be condensed down to "get more if you can afford it or need it".<p>Ain't no one got time for that.
Large scale chia plotter here. I've used over 20 different brands of SSDs; you could say I "stress-test" NVMes for a living.<p>The "TBW warrantied" claims are not so meaningful. On every single NVMe, I have gotten at least 2-4x the rated TBW warrantied without encountering ANY issues, whatsoever.<p>The NVMe spec classifies the rating as being able to retain data, powered off, for 1 year. If your macbook is connected to power more than once in a year, you wouldn't expect to lose data. So real ratings are higher than claimed in the video.<p>I'd expect the Mac's NVMes to work for 4-8 years of heavy usage, before failure.
1. This video is old (April); Apple released a "fix" in macOS 11.4 in June. The author made a followup video showing that excessive writing still happens: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHgdqU-1ws" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHgdqU-1ws</a><p>2. This video guesses what NAND Apple is using instead of opening the case and looking. They also make assumptions about the endurance given that Apple doesn't specify it.<p>3. Total speculation: Heavy swapping combined with 16 KB pages is very bad?
It's a reporting issue according to this article and has been fixed in MacOS 11.4
