Because solid-state drives lack physical moving parts, differences in capacity draw a negligible amount of extra power. [1, 2, 3, 4]
However, storage can indirectly impact your battery life in a few specific ways:
Near-Capacity Drives: If your SSD is almost completely full (under 10-15% free space), macOS struggles to find contiguous blocks for virtual memory swap files. The constant shuffling forces the CPU and SSD to work harder, which drains the battery faster.

In fact, more memory can actually improve battery life if it prevents your Mac from relying on the SSD for virtual memory (swapping). “}}

Quotes from Epigenetics
May 16, 2026The second question that comes up is one shared by the community now performing single-cell genomics assays: How do you define a cell type? This question has been thoughtfully explored by Hongkui Zeng, focusing on the complexity of cells in the mammalian brain (Zeng 2022). She not only gives an overview of the many techniques that can be used to address this issue, but she also draws a distinction between cell types and cell states—in other words, how can a canonical cell type exist in several states? Once again, we are brought back to the concept of the epigenetic landscape and a delta of creodes that split off and recombine around the canonical path down the hillside. This reinforces the idea that the original Waddingtonian idea of epigenetics represents a concept that is more relevant today than ever, as we struggle to deal with the complexity of information about cell types and states.
Quotes from Epigenetics
May 16, 2026The message from this chapter is that the field of epigenetic studies of hu- man disease has painted itself into a corner through excessive purism. By requiring a model of cellular reprogramming, we have ignored the potential role of cell subtype proportion changes. By requiring mechanisms indepen- dent of DNA sequence variation to mediate effects, we have failed to grasp the opportunity to reveal genetic contributions to phenotypes, while our colleagues in the world of functional variant studies have made excellent progress. By downplaying the role of TFs, we are blinded to the contribution of cell signaling in cellular responses to extrinsic perturbations. In Chapter 5 we tried on for size the new term “cellular genomics” to describe an alter- native way of doing these studies for those uncomfortable still calling this new, more inclusive approach epigenetics. Whatever it is called, it represents a way of merging epigenetics with the work performed by our GWAS and functional variant research colleagues.
Quotes from Epigenetics
May 16, 2026With hundreds of PTMs now described for histones, you might imagine that the language that they combine to create is highly complex. However, as has been reviewed by Oliver Rando (Rando 2012), only a tiny proportion of the complexity is used in vivo, with the same combinations of chromatin marks occurring repeatedly in the genome. As Rando puts it (Rando 2012): “At present, an intellectual schism exists between biochemists on one hand, and geneticists and epigenomics researchers on the other. Genome-wide mapping of histone modifications invariably shows that histone modifica- tions occur in groups of multiple highly correlated modifications, demon- strating that the huge potential space of modification combinations is not utilized in vivo.” This lack of diversity argues against the idea that combi- nations of modifications mediate complexity in the regulation of gene ex- pression, although Rando also cites evidence for some readers that bind preferentially when a histone bears a specific combination of PTMs.
