Stress Test
The stress test has gone remarkably well.
After creating the notes detailed above, they began syncing to my iMac Pro this morning. After the drive filled up, the computer crashed (predictably), but I made space, and the sync continued.
I now have about 3,775 notes. To add insult to injury, I created a couple of notes and dropped in a ~1.5GiB video in each. They synced to my M1 MBP without any problem.
My iPad is catching up, has 3773 notes, and is in the process of downloading the final two notes with videos. (edit: downloaded and played.) Interestingly, these notes are listed in iPad Storage, but seem to fall under System Data.
Of course this isn’t a long-term test, but the fact that Apple Notes can handle a few thousand notes that are over 150GiB is pretty impressive.
Now I’m going to free up my disk space…
Screenshot showing disc space used by Apple Notes is 151GiB.
Screenshot showing number of notes is 3,811, and a preview of a note with a Bat For Lashes video dropped into it.
