M1 Mac Owners Are Complaining of Excessive SSD Wear, Even With 16GB RAM Models
It looks like with the 16GB RAM models, M1 Mac owners are complaining of excessive SSD wear, which may reduce the machine’s lifespan

Says more about you than the computer.
I've picked up TWO open box Macbook Air Silver M1s over the past two months from Best Buy for $629+tax. 2 battery cycles and a light scratch on one, and 5 cycles on the other. Full Apple warranty for almost a year. You have to check the Best Buy website pretty regularly, but they do pop up. I suspect people got them as gifts over the holidays and ended up returning shortly thereafter.
Refurb is a wise move with these, since there aren't really any moving parts that can be easily worn out anyway.

Thank you I read the article you linked. But I’m guessing this wouldn’t be limited to only M1 Macs? I have a 2017 MBP and wondering how much of my SSD warrantable usage I’ve used up.Here, this may help you

Huh?
He uses a computer, it meets his needs, therefore it needs no replacement.
(I _do_ wonder about not receiving required security updates after a while...)
Yes this is the article I read on MR this morning that got me concerned. Hoping I can check this out without paying for $10 coconut battery. I do like supporting apps I use and I’m sure one day soon I will purchase coconut battery or a similar app but just not today. I just need to check the overall usage of my SSD and it’s health.Read the article from this morning.

Wow, a base MBA delivered to my door (with my sales tax) is $904, that's pretty spectacular. The wife has the same machine, been using is since mid-Dec, runs all the time, only charges it every 2-3 days, fast, quiet - perfect for her usage model. Tempted to trade my recently battery-warrantied '15 MBP for an 8+8/16/512GB for our little G, her Lenovo is on it's last leg (and I'd sort of prefer her to be on a Mac like me and Mom 
)
)Excellent! I’ve been waiting for these. Just snagged myself an Air 16/256 with AppleCare. Haven’t owned a Mac since OS X 10.6 was the new kid on the block. Have a feeling I’m going to have to relearn a few things! 😂
Hell of a deal, and I'm tempted to replace my 2016 Macbook Pro but it's still truckin' along just fine.
Thinking I'll probably be in the market come 2023.
Edit: Tempted to get a gold model for the wife, but there isn't quite a sweet spot right now. I'd like to get her more than the 256GB of storage that the $849 sports but she doesn't need the 16GB of RAM that the 512GB model at $1229 has.

Thank you, downloaded it and is says that since owning this MBP since 2018 I've used up only 3% of the warrantable SSD.
Great deal on the higher spec'd version - has me really tempted, even though I thought I convinced myself to wait to see what happens with the iPad Pro update. Maybe I just pull the pin on the SG 16gb 500gb model...
Your situation sounds familiar. I’m using a 2013 Sony VAIO right now that I all but maxed out when I bought it with an SSD, quad core i7 and 8 GB of RAM and it’s still chugging along just fine. But this was a hard deal to pass up since I’ve been debating the M1 MacBook since they were released.
I was also wanting a gold Air, but wanted 16 GB of RAM which they didn’t have in gold except paired with the 512 GB drive that just wasn’t worth $1229 to me so I ended up with Space Gray...
I hear you - same situation with my 2015. M1 is so tempting, but my machine is running well.
Really tempting offer for a light study device to replace an iPad Pro with... but I’ll try to hold out for for the next gen.
Well many have been bricked like my M1 Pro. If you plug some powered 3rd party USBC docks in it fries the logic board.
2 hours after your post and both 8 and 16 GB configs in all 3 colors of the M1 Air are available, so I guess you ... ?
