But it won't last for life. It will probably last about 4 years so that equates to about 100/mo.


M1 is finishing it's 6th year of life and going strong ...


Have you been trashing the non-replaceabe SSD with constant AI workloads? Do you have any idea how much electricity it uses over it those 4 years?


You cannot wear out an SSD through AI inference alone. LLM weights are only read from the SSD, and read operations do not contribute to SSD wear. SSD wear is primarily caused by write and erase operations.

Your other point is valid, but you're either vastly underestimating how many reads/writes a modern SSD can take or vastly overestimating how much output a typical LLM is capable of.
