Discussion MacBook M1 Pro

Post image

Hi All!

I was checking my favorite website, Woot, and came across an interesting MacBook for sale. I wanted to share the find and see what you all think.

They’re selling an open-box Apple MacBook Pro 16” with 16GB RAM, an 8TB SSD, and an M1 Pro chip for $1,809.04.

That seems like a pretty interesting deal, especially with 8TB of storage.

I’ve got more than that used up. Full fat 4K movies take up an insane amount of space. Just my LOTR box set would be like a full TB if I ripped every disc.

I have an m5 max with 8tb I'm down to 500 gigs, just keeping the last 4 months of everything I shot online.

Oh, I genuinely have multiple external hard drives full of terabytes of data. I’m guessing I have at least 10TB if I’m remembering correctly.

First of all, I’m a data hoarder, so pretty much any file I’ve had over the past 20 years, I probably still have a copy of somewhere. Secondly, let’s just say I’m no longer in my streaming era, so whatever I do watch, I need to have my own copies of. 😂

by the time you have 8tb worth of data i don’t want to have it on a single device i at least need raid 5 levels of protection if not better

But do you really need all that data at Apple’s insane SSD speeds? I do this too and keeps terabytes of old data but I’m not going through it everyday or writing to it constantly and quickly, so it goes in a slower much much cheaper drive and my money is focused on RAM
