    I did a quick search earlier and it seems these are informational only and not necessarily persistent warnings. Some discussion suggested that some unsupported requests to the disk…

    fzf.vim works better, in my subjective opinion, but I haven't configured telescope a lot.

    Treesitter integration is a bit easier in neovim IMHO (but I haven't tried to make it work with vim too much.) Newer plugin development seems to be much more on the nvim side than …

    This is exactly the kind of comparison that prompted me to post this topic. I suppose macOS just uses the SSD far more.

    How does your workload look?

    Thanks for sharing, is this a 1TB drive? Going by the percentage used, looks like an expected lifespan of 1200TBW.

    Power On Hours seem to indicate the disk has been on for a good chunk of time, so I would think you're doing fine. Percentage used says 6%, so that seems decent too. What model SSD…

    What is your RAM/SSD config?

    This is why I asked here. Most folks don't seem to mind it, but it is an order of magnitude, if not more, higher disk usage than linux.

    Is there a noticeable difference in battery life usage with option 1?

    Comment #33033993

    I think that's because `power on` hours is talking about the disk being in the power on state, not the rest of the machine.

    Wow, that's a well used machine!

    > Addendum. I just wrote 1.7GB in the last 30mins while reading HN on Firefox, and a few other web pages. Thanks for sharing this. I need to see if linux does this.

    Thank you for the data point, and your usage on an M1 will probably yield crazier numbers. This is why I asked, Apple silicon machines look like they're using the disk far more tha…

    Indeed, I intended to say letting it get to standby. :)

    Thank you, this is useful. I think I'm going to try the memory only option. Your Read/Writes seem lower than others (still pretty high, but much better than other Apple Silicon)

    I'm doing none of that on this machine yet. In generak, it can reach it easily on a dev machine, but it seems like the norm. And my linux experience is at 1/5th or 1/10th the amoun…

    The two relatively lower posts I've seen here are both higher RAM, 32GB and 64GB. I wonder there's anything to read into this.
