   The NANDs Apple is using aren't standard. They are a proprietary design. Those   
   video links I shared previously go into greater detail concerning that as well   
   as the issues they tend to develop which renders the computer a paperweight.   
   It's a problem which has not been fixed.

   He seems to be a bit of an Apple fanboy going by the interesting discussion   
   I've had with the individual so far. I think it's especially cute that he   
   accuses me of making up stories and otherwise failing to prove what I've been   
   writing about the issues. I've posted links to videos discussing it, I've also   
   shared google search results along with the query I used to get them. And a   
   discussions.apple link. What else must I provide to prove that I'm not writing   
   stories about this?   
      
   We know (well some of us anyway) about this because we've seen it in the field.   
   It's not an issue of over working or over using the drive. There's an issue   
   with the NANDs Apple opted to use. An issue which hasn't been resolved. The   
   NANDs die and take the computer down with them.   
      
   Those video links I shared contain a lot of useful information if he or anyone   
   else is actually interested in learning about this vs attempting to   
   troll...Just stating what should be obvious.
