[QUOTE="mac57, post: 1919181, member: 17052"] For those who are worried about the remaining read/write cycles of the Mac Studio's internal SSD drive, I would encourage you to have a look at DriveDx, which in my research into this matter seemed to be the most highly regarded disk monitoring utility of a large bunch. Despite still being Intel only, it looks pretty impressive, and critically, it directly reflects the read/write cycles health of your drive. [ATTACH type="full" alt="DriveDx Screen Shot.jpg"]36981[/ATTACH] In the above screen shot, the "SSD Lifetime Left" indicator is the key one - the documentation says that it directly reflects the number of read/write cycles left on the drive. If you run DriveDx as part of your routine maintenance of your Mac (along with things like OnyX and so on) you can keep an eye on the health of your drive, and have plenty of advance notice if and when the end is near. DriveDx is not cheap - $19.99 for a lifetime license - but seems worth it to me. I am about to take the plunge and pay the fee myself.
