Reporting tools, which had reported severe wear on SSDs within Apple Silicon MacBooks, have been corrected by macOS 11.4
Solid State Drives, or SSDs, can only ever be written to once before becoming inoperable. It can take years.
AppleInsider spoke with an Apple source who wasn’t authorized to comment on the company’s behalf. He stated that the problem was caused in part by data reporting issues within the tools that are used to report SSD wear. A source said that SSDs weren’t aging faster due RAM swap or other reasons.
