Guys, plan to get M1 Air and came across the news about SSD excessive write issue.
Is it going to be fixed in OS updates/hotfix etc sometime in the future?

QUOTE(caffeinionated @ Mar 11 2021, 10:12 AM) It's most probably blown out of proportion. 1. It's happening on Intel macs too 2. SMART monitoring is not necessarily accurate, or may not be optimised in this instance so take the results with a pinch of salt 3. People tend to forget that Apple has been working on ARM processors and SSD storage in iPads and iPhones for a long, long time before the M1 came about  QUOTE(johnsonxray @ Mar 11 2021, 11:16 AM) The fix is released now. Thanks for the input. Good to know. Never used a mac before. This will be my first.https://github.com/davidwernhart/AlDente/releases For people concerning about the ssd swap, Conclusion: Don't care, just use your computer Is There A Problem?

a) Adaptor (USB C male to HDMI female) + normal HDMI cable (male - male) b) Single cable. USB-C male + HDMI male |

Bought two Dell P2722HE USB monitor and connect it directly via USB. Too bad M1 doesn't support dual external display, without external dock. firdausbhari liked this post
