A large number of Macbook Pros from around 2013-2015 have had failed SSDs. Mine failed 4 years ago. Because I was able to put in a new SSD - one twice the size and about twice the speed, I might add - I was able to keep using the system, and still am. I had to use an adapter, because Apple tried to discourage SSD replacement by using a proprietary pinout on the NVMe connector. If the soldered-on SSD in an M1 mac fails, you can't even boot the system. You can't send the system off to have someone do a board-level replacement, because apparently they do some bullshit to "pair" the flash chips with the flash controller. Apple has gone out of their way to take systems that used to be incredibly durable and long-lasting, and give them a very finite lifespan.
