    Fledging SSDs

    What happened to Fledging? The company made some SSDs with Apple's proprietary connector for MacBook Air/Pro 2012-2019 with High Sierra pre-installed. Am currently looking for their 1tb drive but their website is down and very few of their SSDs seem available online. Did they go bust? DS

    M1 Max MBP with 1TB storage, 32GB RAM. High SSD disk usage. I never even reach memory swap with my usage.
