   That the modern macs become paperweights when the internally soldered SSD   
   fails. And it only takes the failure of one of the NAND chips which together   
   make up the drive for this to happen. All of this has been confirmed to be   
   true. It's indisputable. There is nothing more that needs to be discussed   
   concerning this.
