M1 Mac Users Report Excessive SSD Wear
https://www.macrumors.c
and
How worried should you be about your M1 Mac's SSD lifespan?
https://www.macworld.co
There are two major causes:
1. small ram (8GB total, including 2-4GB for VRAM, only 4-6GB left for the system and applications) and ARM chipsets' increasing demand for RAM (due to weak RAM management on the legacy Unix/Linux memory/swap system with ARM instruction sets).
Apple's solution: disproportionately increases the size and usage of the swap partition;
2. Rosetta 2 translation demands larger RAM than X86, X64 precompiled apps.
Apple's solution: disproportionately increases the size and usage of the swap partition, again.
So, you would expect a significant reduction in SSD lifespan on an M1 Mac compared to an Intel mac, not to mention a Windows pc which has a much more robust ram/pagefile management system.

My mid 2012 MBP with 16gb RAM and SSD upgrade is still good for what I use it for.
Same here.
To actually wear out the SSD, you will need to write SSDs at an insane volume that most of us don't achieve easily. Source: "Far more likely—according to the industry scuttlebutt, my own experience, and third-party testing—is that the 256GB SSD will reach 300TBW with ease, and quite likely more. That means nearly 4 to 8 years of SSD life at the same pace with an 8GB/256GB M1 Mac. You can double that for a 512GB SSD. " - https://www.macworld.co
The swap issue has been addressed and debunked a number of times. Using Swap memory is normal and there's nothing to worry about unless it's huge in the range of 5 GB or more.
Rosetta 2 is improved. There is no reason to worry about the RAM size on an M1 chip unless you do tons of 4k video editing.
I run Windows 10 on my M1 Mac Mini using Parallels Technical Preview (which runs on Windows 10 Insider ARM edition beta) with Google chrome on my Mac running videos and other apps open, and my Mac Mini barely breaks a sweat. I even game CS:GO on my M1 Mac 8GB version. So ignore all the noise about SSD Wear and RAM. Most people don't need a 16GB and RAM in M1 is not the same as RAM in Windows. So he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Thx. I'm an apple user and will avoid these lame M1 until a few generations have passed
