A word on Solid State Drives. you can read from them until the sun cools off, but they only have a limited writing ability before the cells get "tired." So they're constantly shuffling cells around inside so you're not constantly beating up one or one group of cells. That's something else ...

Its a MacBook Air with only 8GB storage That's the system memory, not the drive. A Mac couldn't get out of bed in the morning with an 8GB drive.
