So then, I could be running virt-manager and manage VMs on an M1? That would slide nicely into my existing virt-manager usage. But, not with a soldered-in SSD. I tend to keep machines running a LONG time, and I'd hate to pitch an otherwise perfectly-good machine because the SSD wore out and couldn't be replaced. The "expensive disposable" situation with cell phones is bad enough, let's not have this in our PCs as well.
As a counterpoint, the only SSDs I've ever had fail on me were some early OCZ units (big surprise), but I still check the SMART data on drives I'm using and see the wear indicators slowly advancing. I keep stuff backed up on ZFS spinning rust.
