Ask HN: Why not a utility to save your Mac from a software bug killing your SSD?
As you may know, MacBooks are expensive and an SSD killed by excessive writes due to software bug(s) requires a complete motherboard replacement.
So why not have a utility that would warn you when an app is writing too much? Maybe you could specify a threshold for the warning.
Would you use a utility like this to give you peace of mind, especially with MacBooks?

Evidently their SSDs are nonstandard, if they are soldered to the motherboard. Do they also not answer to SMART?
