You are wrong, yet again. You are making the assumption that I expected to get 8 years out of my current computer. As I am about to spend much more on a new computer (because it has better tech) than I did for my current one, I do expect to get more life out of this computer, with the changes in technology since.
You are assuming that greater longevity is a feature of more expensive machines. This has never been the case for Apple or any other manufacturer. You pay more for performance, style, and the latest new features. None of those features correlate with longevity.
You can't guarantee anything, and if you cannot answer my question, then don't post.
Hang on and let me build a time machine, go 8 years into the future, compile a report of this machine's average SSD lifetime, and go back in time....
Alright. I'm back. That's the great thing about time machines. I can get back while my edit window is still open 🙂.
Unfortunately, I can provide no such guarantee. Any information I would provide about the future could alter the course of human history. All I can do is advise you to base your decision on past SSD longevity and hope for the best.
