To get disk access on par with M1 you need to pay $200 to upgrade to 512gb ($799 or $699)

Now I need a monitor deal

I personally think the ssd storage issue will be quite noticeable for small RAM configurations on the lowest end, since swap space will inevitably get used a lot. (i believe some youtuber/reviewer confirmed this on daily use, not just high transfer rate applications). Thus I'm skipping M2 for now and waiting to see if they had this issue fixed. It feels to me almost like a deliberate handicap of the lowest end models with the M2 lineups. Even 512mb version of the M2 suffers from this. Why not take full advantage of the circuit design, instead of trying to make the negative impact sound negligible?
want to expand my storage though.
wondering if there's any recommendation on a good thunderbolt nvme enclosure for the money. i have nvme lying around but no fast enclosures.
is the recent ugreen deal good enough for only $23? or is there any other recommendations?
thanks in advance.

I could not confirm if the lower price is in-store as well.

That's pure nonsense.
In 2005 the first SSDs could only be rewritten en-toto a few tens of thousands of times. Now, it's so many times that nobody's going to hit it in the next decades. It's just a theoretical limit at this point.
You can see this for yourself - just open Activity Monitor and look at your swap speeds; realize they're nowhere close to 1500MB/s, 3000MB/s, or 6000MB/s.
