If you are referring to Avid Nexis shared storage - NOPE!
I had to sell off a dozen M1 Macs and get used Intel based CPU's to keep working with Avid Nexis. When Nexis 2021.8 was released - the headline read that it was M1 compatible (on Big Sur) - that prompted me to invest in the M1's. Then (after pointing out that there was a discrepency between the compatibility matrix and the read me file, a small line appeared in the read me: Users on M1 Macs can experience kernel panics...It was not a question of "can" but rather "will". We found it completely unusable. 2021.12.0 and then 2021.12.1 came with no change on M1 compatibility - it has been nearly 9 months now and Avid cannot / will not even say if the problem will be fixed or an approximate timeline - I can accept that with a piece of software for an individual, but not for a very expensive, supposedly industrial strength piece of equipment that is the core of workflow for 24 systems (in our case). On top of that we are paying support of 5000 USD per year on our 2 x Nexis boxes. Not impressed....
