[QUOTE="Lbrewer_42, post: 1927966, member: 413439"] It's been a number of years ago I read that Apple got rid of the <Secure Empty Trash> Option b/c an SSD cannot take as many read/writes without failure that a typical spinner drive can. Has this been fixed? Anyone have a suggestion FROM EXPERIENCE: 1. For a durable SSD if they now exist? 2. A good spinner HD if the SSD still cannot handle the task. I typically have used my macs for 15 years+ (if it ain't broke...don't fix it!) and want the most reliable. I want the drive to velcro onto my Macbook Air 2017. Thanks for replies [/QUOTE]
