Can anyone explain the purpose of a 32 gig NVMe SSD? I think it's quite an apple thing to install such a stupidly tiny drive into a computer, but on the other hand it doesn't seem right. This can't be a system drive can it? But what else could it be? This is like an impractical, high-speed USB drive that requires disassembly of the computer to remove...
Such a tiny storage space gave me a free netbook.
That netbook had 32GB, of which windows and office took about 27. Then windows decided it needed an update of 8GB. Game over, as the flash was soldered on the board.
Wiped windows, installed Linux and libreoffice and some extra things. Used about 5GB.
Fwiw, I had a tablet do this a couple years back. after opening it up again recently it looks like Windows created an option where you can still upgrade, but you have to plug in a flash drive so it has extra space to download the update. Then it patches the system and removes the windows.old file to free up space on the internal storage.
No need for that now. Windows is gone for good from that machine.
