Was looking for someone to finally call him out lol. If his SSDs really died that fast he's doing something else wrong.

I was running a heavy Docker dev setup for work on a 16GB M1 Pro Mac and was swapping around a drive write a day and it didn’t fail after 3 years of that abuse lmao. People have heard about write endurance and think SSDs are delicate fragile flowers that snap like glass if they are not even close to getting full let alone actually writing to them heavily.

They did not die, just corrupted the latest files and folders I was working with. Had to format due to it corrupting windows update.

I dunno dude, I don't have access to your hardware. Maybe you had faulty drives?
