Why does my M1 MacBook Air show as having flash storage? Should it not have SSD instead? Is anyone else having this same problem? I have attached a screenshot of what it shows. As I said, I have a 2020 M1 MacBook Air running on MacOS Monterey 12.0.1.
MacBook Air (2020 or later)
That's another name, flash or solid-state storage.
Good luck! ☺︎
From what was said about the hardware inside, essentially it's almost
the same. Except the 'flash' hasn't the larger enclosure around it, that
a similar SSD board has.
Inside the MacBook Air, this allows a better fit
of parts; with 'flash' secured to the logic board.
Some versions of SSD 'fitted-in' such a way to be more easily upgraded.
Several more were not intended to be. Inside the MB/Air, they're affixed.
My 2012 MacBook Pro 13-inch had rotational HDD; previous owner made
an upgrade, now it has a 'blade-type' SSD; while non-apple. It goes OK.
Glad to be of assistance! ☺︎
Oh, thanks a lot! I was afraid mine was defective!!
