  Hello leftblank15,
  
  Somewhat serious, Definitely want to make sure you have an Apple Care plan in place. Users are noticing that after one month of use the estimated lifespan of the SDD usage is already at 5%. Theoretically reaching 100% within 2 years. I have disks way past their 100% usage still functioning as expected. These were used SSD’s purchased at a low cost due to how long they were in production. Keeping backups in place and making sure you have Apple Care, I would not be too concerned.
