[QUOTE="ced89, post: 1903866, member: 407595"] I tried DriveDx on another MacBook, it says 70TB against 190GB of the activity monitor... I've never used Time Machine there, but I'm pretty sure that I swapped a few GB every day, even though I had the 16 GB model and I didn't stress it enough... The TBW is 1000 TB on the 500 GB M2, but on my 256GB disk is 500 TBW. Still a lot, but not so good if it will swap daily, plus I risk to reduce the size of the disk with bad sectors or even data corruption. In any case, online I've seen that M2 disks die much later, it's just doesn't make me feel safe :D . [/QUOTE]
