8GB M1 MacBook and Mac mini have excessive ssd read/write issues that significantly reduce ssd lifespan. 16gb is a must.
M1 Mac Users Report Excessive SSD Wear
How worried should you be about your M1 Mac's SSD lifespan?
There are two major causes:
1. small ram (8GB) 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.

是Rosetta 的问题，
m1还有其他小问题，显卡usb这些都有兼容性问题，
