![]() It still holds that you should have the appropriate amount of memory for the task at hand.Īs for the M1 Mini I think a better argument is that 16 GB should be considered sufficient for its target market. Memory management systems combined with fast SSDs have reduce the impact of low memory situations but they have not eliminated it. Caching on the SSD can minimize this and the above but SSD caches are a fraction of a 32 GB data set. ![]() More so if the SSD is approaching capacity and has to perform house keeping in order to perform the write. ![]() Memory, for all intents and purposes, does not don't have this issue.įurther more the time to write 4 KB to an SSD is, relatively speaking, slower than RAM. Best case scenario is an entire 4 KB block needs to be written in which case the read can be omitted (as none of the original information is needed). Thus a two byte write can require two read/update/write cycles. It gets worse if you're writing two blocks and the data has to span two 4 KB SSD blocks. SSDs write in blocks, typically in 4 KB sizes, which means writing a single byte to an SSD requires a read (to retrieve the entire block), a modify (to update the single byte), and then writing the 4 KB block to the SSD. SSDs are unable to provide byte level writes to memory. ![]() Click to expand.Real life tests also benefit, especially if the task at hand is updating the data.
