If you have a new Mac M1, you probably think it will last for years and years, but some worrying new data suggests that may not be the case. More than a few users are reporting that SSDs on Apple’s M1 Macs are possibly being overused by the system, which can cause them to wear out earlier than normal.
Twitter User @never_released started a topic that shows a report from a Mac M1 with very high recording counts to a computer just two months old. This prompted other M1 owners to run the same report, and many also found overuse, including the Macworld columnist. Dan Moren.

Twitter SSDs are preferred over traditional hard drives because they are much faster, but SSDs have a limited life. An SSD wears out every time you write to it, and eventually the drive will have problems and probably need to be replaced. However, this should take several years to happen, and macOS spreads the writing on an SSD to extend its lifespan. Based on these readings, this can happen much earlier than expected.
It is possible that there is an error in the reporting tool, but it is also possible that macOS is doing something on the SSD to cause these spikes. In this case, it is worrying because the SSD drives on these new Macs cannot be repaired by the user and cost hundreds of dollars to replace.
We contacted Apple for comment and will update this story if we hear back.
