Lifetime of Ipad SSD Flash Storage Issue...

Does anyone know the approximate lifetime of Ipad SSD Flash Storage?
I've heard that SSD storage have lifetime issue, due to it only support number of times for write/erase.
Will 64GB have a longer lifetime then 32 GB?
Is 64GB Ipad using 2 32GB SSD flash storage?
Thanks.

That may help. The SSD will last for some years.

  • Will a 2.66 mac pro accept SSD flash storage drive?

    I am trying to find out if Mac Pro 2.66 OS10.6.8 will run properly using the SSD Flash storage drives that are now available?

    I love just really get a lot more out of my Mac Pro now with Samsung $100 SSD than I ever did, and OWC or Amazon $15 adapters.
    One easy great way to breath new life into 7 yrs old hardware.
    $31 for 2x2GB FBDIMM to get more RAM is another easy and now cheap higher quality.
    I feel like I bought a year and can skip "1.0" of any new OS plus new hardware until it too has had 6 months at least to iron itself out.
    Don't be put off. That SSD III can and should work fine AND use it whenever you do get another Mac or decide to add a PCIe SATA SSD controller card ($150) to add SATA3 6G.

  • Would a flash storage issue affect the battery being charge?

    I received a notice about my macbook air and defective flash storage. I brought my macbook into an apple store on Saturday to have the firmware updated. Since then my macbook has been unable to charge the battery with the adaptor plugged in. I am wondering if the flash storage has anything to do with this?  I have not had an issue with the battery charging or not charging before this.

  • Ipad updating and storage issue

    How do I retrieve my ipad setting in storage?  I seem to have deleted it trying to update

    I suggest you try using other words to ask your question.  I've read it several times and do not understand the question.
    Are you trying to update your iPad's iOS version?  Are you trying to do this over-the-air, or using iTunes on your computer?  What type of iPad do you have (how old)?  What version of iOS is it running?  Are you using "retrieve my iPad setting in storage" to refer to some type of backup you did?  When and how did you do this backup?

  • IPAD mini IOS8 storage issues

    Hi,
    I just installed IOS 8.1.2 on my IPAD mini and it has used up about 6GB of memory!  Anybody else had this issue?  How idea as to how to resolve this?
    Thanks.

    Hello Millie_c2,
    Thanks for providing more information on the issue you're having with the iPad.  Since you're seeing a lot of space being taken up in "Other" usage, please follow the steps outlined below.
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.
    If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • Is a Macbook air more durable than a Pro (with flash storage) for travelling?for

    Is a Macbook Air more durable than a Macbook Pro (with flash storage) for extensive travelling?

    Since neither Air nor Pro shoud be abused or used as a hockey puck,......the question is ALMOST moot.
    However the AIr is to be certain more durable than the Pro is due to:
    1. fewer parts (much)
    2. lower mass inertia at impact
    3. less chassis flex due to depth and form.
    4. LCD on Air is less fragile than the retina display on the Pro is
    5.  Air is much easier to repair in case of a spill (however this is almost another moot point)
    For much traveling and "abuse", the Air is the winner to be certain, however its still moot if you have a good padded case and prevent other ignorant people in your travels from manhandling your Air or Pro
    BOTH current Air and Pro use SSD flash storage.
    BOTH only have 1 moving part, the fan.

  • Possibility to extend the flash storage in MacBook Pro 2013

    Hi,
    i´m planing to order the new macbook pro 13" with the PciE Flash. It is selectable from 128Gb up to 256Gb.
    Is this an ordinary and changeable SSD? is it extendable by my self or is it a fixed  and soldered mass storage on the systemboard?
    thx in advance,
    David

  • Flash storage in Macbook Air

    Hi all,
    I am a bit confused here. I am informed that the Macbook Air 2013 uses Solid State Drive but in Apple's website, it just mentions 'Flash storage'. Is it just the same?

    same thing, its solid state storage.
    distinction without a difference.
    this is the SSD "flash storage" in the macbook Air, uses micro SATA
    interface:

  • Is the "flash" storage in Macbook Pros and Airs upgradable?

    I just watched an OWC video on upgrading SSD on mid 2012 Macbook Pro, is that what they consider "Flash" storage? They only say SSD, so I'm just wondering if I buy 128GB Macbook or Air can I increase it later or is it "built in" and not upgradable?

    SSD = flash memory storage. There are no Apple-supported upgrades for the internal SSD/flash storage in the MacBooks, partly because Apple uses a special connector. OWC has created replacement MacBook SSD/flash drives of their own initiative, and they do work. But they are only available for some models.
    Due to the special Apple design of the flash storage you will not find many options for upgrading. So far only OWC has gone to the trouble of trying to match the Apple specs.
    It is still best to order a MacBook with the amount of storage you need, if available. If you do need an upgrade later, whether you will be able to will depend on whether OWC offers one for the model you have, and there is no guarantee of that. And any such upgrade will not be supported by Apple. But OWC is a good company and I have bought many products from them.

    Uh, iFixit and the manufacturer of the upgradeable SSD Flash Storage for the 2010-2011 MBA would respectfully disagree. Yes, the volatile memory is not upgradeable, but the storage SSD (NAND Flash) is as upgradeable as it gets.

  • I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it?  I don't understand flash storage.  It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with.  Help an old lady out!!!

    Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare  the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

  • Figured out the issue with local flash storage

    OK , a lot of people have had the same issue i had with the local flash storage settings not working, or any of the settings for that matter.....i tried everything and nothing would work. After hours and hours of troubleshooting i finally switched my default web browser from internet explorer to google chrome and bam all the settings were back to working order. Hope this post helps.

    bug is closed by Adobe as "NotABug".
    Flash Players before 11.3.300.257 had different behavior that was more reliable: placing "Dictionary" object to the local storage allowed reading it as "Dictionary". Like placing "Array" resulted to reading "Array" from shared object.
    With Player 11.3 it doesn't work anymore. Reading a property that was placed as "Dictionary" results to plain "Object" read. Any code like "var a:Dictionary = sharedObj.myDictionary as Dictionary;" returns "null". This is very annoying bug that resulted to our application not working for 2 days until we found the reason. I regret Adobe doesn't admit this a bug.
    Writing this in order if someone of developers face with the same issue.
