Yep, agreed, it&#x27;s a bit of a worry. But as another commenter pointed out, these $2000-ish laptops are costing us around $2 a day over about 3 years, so I use my MacBook as my primary machine and replace it around the 3 to 4 year mark, and have a couple of Core2Duo laptops (one running Windows and one running Linux) in the house also. It&#x27;s less than the price of a cup of coffee, here in Australia you can&#x27;t get a coffee for less than $3.50.<p>I put a 128GB USB3.0 SanDisk Ultra Fit[1] in my MacBook (these things are tiny), to supplement the SSD. Currently on sale for AU$74. Plenty fast enough for storing media, and I&#x27;m wearing my SSD less now too.<p>Not to sure what to do when the SSD wears out, probably boot of the USB stick, but that&#x27;s a while away and I&#x27;ll sell the laptop before then anyway.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sandisk.com.au&#x2F;home&#x2F;usb-flash&#x2F;ultra-fit-usb" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sandisk.com.au&#x2F;home&#x2F;usb-flash&#x2F;ultra-fit-usb</a>
