Unless it’s a refurb, get it. I have one in my MacBook Pro. Lightning fast, silent, and sips power. Second best upgrade I ever did, only behind a 960 EVO NVMe in a Thinkpad T460s. Don’t worry about it burning out. Since getting my first SSD, I’ve spilled coffee into more laptops than I’ve lost SSDs to wear and age. A silicone keyboard skin will extend the life of your computer more than noatime. > A lot of the SSD information seems to be a couple of years old.
