Can't see where it says that?
WD Blue are up to 1950, and WD Black 3000
says that on the 1TB version. I think its a typo.

In the Amazon pages, for several of the sizes of SSD. Not all. Just above the write speed.Can't see where it says that?

And pop it in a caddy - https://amzn.to/3gsl7Ii - For £38
I was literally about order this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/UGREEN-Enclosure-External-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B08DNR22Q7/
can't tell what the difference is between this and the one that's a lot more expensive... both same company,... roughly similar design.

It’s a shame that’s the cutdown version. I’m guessing we will need to wait longer for Lightroom Classic to be updated.

You can but it would be great if the native app was out. I guess it was to be expected lightroom classic will take longer to sort as it’s more complicated than the cut down version. It’s obvious to most that Adobe want to get rid of classic and are pushing the cutdown CC version.Can run it in emulation mode anyway can't you?

No sorry. Lightroom CC, Affinity Pro, Sigma Optimisation Pro, Smartshooter 4 and Wacom Intuit pro all run well so far. No problems with anything yet.Any chance you have tried the any of the topaz AI software?
Returning to this thread after acquiring an SSD NVMe
SSD Speed - 3200
1st Caddy purchased, - 950
(caveat emptor - it was marked Thunderbolt 3, but was only compatible, not actual)
2nd Caddy purchased - 1317
Thunderbolt 3
USB3 SSD - 474
Internal SSD - 2532
So, it appears currently, that the internal SSD is twice as fast as the fastest possible (not cheap) external one.
For comparison
Thunderbolt 2 Spinning Rust Drive - 200
USB C Spinning Rust Drive - 100

Having read neither story, I'd guess it's down to swap files wearing the memory.Interesting article on the SSDs in M1 machines.
Apple Macs with M1 chip reportedly suffering excessive SSD wear in some cases | TechRadar
TL;DR: either there's something weird going on or M1s *may* start failing in 18 months or so.
MacWorld are a little more alarmist but both articles are essentially taking the same source and spinning up their story.

Interesting.
Typically an SSD would outlast your machine by decades in normal use. Of course swap and heat will be a factor in laptops. I'd still expect 10 year minimum.
I remember going through this article with a friend.

That's the concern. These machines appear to use the swap file a LOT. Meaning the drives may wear out very fast. And as we all know, the drives aren't strictly speaking replaceable.
If they were to wear out just out of warranty, that would be very bad indeed.
Even the older Intel machines used swap memory quite lot at least from the last couple of osx installations if not before it.
I don't think any one is going around complaining thier SSDs are dying on them prematurely.
In fact my old iMac's SSD took quite a battering and still showed at 90+% life left after 4 years of use.
Exactly - the article is showing that somehow the M1s are burning through their drives much faster than the Intels. If a drive fails after 10 years of usage that's pretty good - but if it fails in <2 (as the limited sample size on MacWorld is suggesting) AND the drive can't be swapped, that's bad.
