The performance gap between Apple’s flash and a typical aftermarket NVMe drive in a Windows laptop is more attributable to controller design and integration than to trace length.

The comment was about RAM - what does NVMe have to do with RAM?

  • Apple can get away with less RAM because their flash storage is fast enough to make swapping barely noticeable. In contrast, most Windows machines incur a significant performance penalty when swapping.
