The SSD in your Mac cannot be replaced... So if it stops working or dies, that's not good. However, how long will it last? How many years will you be able to use the Mac before the SSD stops working? In this video we explore this topic in greater details, and also give you some tips and tricks to prolong the life of your SSD.

@@harjotgill6162 Well. The MacPro is a desktop computer and battery is not an issue. The SSD was my concern at the beginning, but the test has not shown any impairment so far. I think Apple builds very high quality SSDs into the Macs, which I would expect for the price. My 2012 MacBook Pro is also still working fine, although it seems a little slower in the meantime. The battery has, of course, degraded somewhat over the 9 years, but it still serves its purpose for a short time. Most of the time, I run the MacBook on the power supply.

The SSD on a Macbook Pro 2016 I was using broke in late 2021. Everything else about it works. I used an external ssd for booting+main system drive for a few months until I got tired of having to rely on an external drive. I think the only thing your analysis misses is background processes that indiscriminately writes to the ssd without user control. The Mac virtual memory system is becoming very advanced, with the M1 using unified memory and virtual memory. The user cannot control how many bytes the system will write - even if you only browse the web, etc you can't control whether the os will write/commit to the ssd when you are only lightly using the system.

Great informative video! Allow me to add a correction on your assessment of 2% storage availability. In this scenario, this will lead to a phenomenon called write amplification, where the SSD erases and rewrites the stored data across all the cells to accomplish its wear leveling objectives. This as you can see amplifies writes as it has to rewrite an existing data to a different cell, erase the previous one and write the new data on that previous location and so on. No modern SSDs will ever write and rewrite a new data on the same location as it would kill the SSD quicker

That's make me frustated and worry when my laptop gonna die in future. What i suggest to people is, get more RAM storage when your have heavy daily work. Now i have bought MBP 14" base model and using it with that daily work it's just under 200GB per week

To all those who write here that the SSD from their MacBook from forever ago is still running. The new MacBooks use swap memory much more than the old ones from back then. Especially if you use programs that do not have a native version for the M1 processors, the SSD is particularly stressed by swap.

@CreatedTech 2 жыл бұрын

Not entirely true, that issue was blown out of proportion quite a bit last year and is no longer something to worry about. All Macs use swap, regardless of if they're Apple silicon or not. However, even if you're slamming swap 24/7, the results in this video show that your SSD will still almost certainly last 10+ years.

Yes, having a TB drive attached isn't quite as convenient as an internal drive but it still works. Frankly I think most people are worrying over nothing. I have some very old SSDs and so far I haven't had one die yet. One of them is in a 16 year old laptop (the SSD isn't original, it's about 10 years old). Also, there are people out there who can replace both memory and SSDs on Macbook motherboards. All it requires is to be good with flux and a soldering iron. Some of them have videos on KZfaq.

A higher capacity SSD will typically have a higher endurance rating simply because there are more available cells to write to. Using the paper analogy, if you have a large piece of paper, you would have to erase and write over less in order to record the same amount of information than you would if you had a smaller piece of paper. So when it comes to SSD wear, a higher capacity drive will typically fare better. You are correct.

If the ssd fails in your MacBook Pro, you can install MacOS in an external hard drive or external solid state drive. As this operating system let you boot from an external source in which it will give access to the MacBook Pro and you won't have to throw it away or spend a lot of money getting it repaired. I would recommend getting a nvme drive with a usb c enclosure. This is because you will benefit from the fast read and write speeds.

MacBook Air 2011 128GB, SSD ok after using everyday. Still have thousand of unused wear leveling blocks. Memory management is so great that endurance is so much enlarged, around 15-20 years at least for most users. I think you would experience limitations on CPU. or RAM before the SSD dies. Careful with bugs! If some app or OS version is wrongly implemented, it may write and erase the memory so much times that may kill it before you think. For me, SSD lifespan is not a problem at least on Mac computers.

My 2017 MBP 13" 128GB has a dead SSD unfortunately - and considering its age, that's pretty alarming. I did however take it to an Apple Service Centre who have claimed that they will replace it if possible (for a hefty price ofcourse). Upon deeper research, it seems that a particular series of MBPs from 2017 had been recalled for faulty SSDs - anyone know anything about this?

Tbh that it was a pretty disastrous period of Mac-computing presented by Apple. Not only the key-switches, also the top-case, and SSD's have not the best performance numbers in consumer enjoyment time I'd say.

Yes, there was a free repair program for units affected.

My 256GB SSD failed on my 2014 MacBook Pro in 2019 after 5 years of use. This was frustrating enough as I had to buy an old SSD as the port is not standard on macs, I am not looking forward to my SSD failing on my M1 MacBook Pro :( - I had it for a year, I guess 4 years left!

If I buy a laptop I definitely expect more than 5 years of use.

In last few years i have purchased like 10-15 ssd s to my computers. 4 of them altready died... I'm really glad they weren't hard soldered to the board in either case...

Wow, never had any of those issue on all my Mac’s. If I get a new one it’s cause it’s been least 5 yrs or more and just want a new one

@@nme6725Disks are not just another "consumable", they store valuable data. And im still using one my notebook which is 18years old and works perfectly fine after upgrading disk to ssd... Half of those sdd died after 5 years and ahalf of them died fast and need to be replaced in warranty (which is really easy when you have m2 disk and not just "special" chips soldered on motherboard).

Excellent video! All of my data is on external drives. I had a 15' inch i7 touchbar before and it lasted me 5 years, I switched to M1 pro now. Average professional with resource intensive needs will have changed their system every 5 years at the latest - which is a way shorter term than lifespan of most SSDs.
