  • Not for the faint of heart ... upgrading SSD on M1 Mac Mini

    From Alan Browne@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 2 11:30:43 2023
    Since the asshats at Apple insist on soldering SSD to the mother board
    despite oodles of room for SSD NVMe slots... and their 2TB option is
    wildly overpriced ...

    Some rebel!

    I'd rather spend $220 for a 1TB Envoy Pro.

    When the spinning rust on my last Intel iMac got too slow for the latest
    macOS, I opted for a 1TB Crucial SSD hung off a Thunderbolt port. That
    kept the iMac going for another couple of software cycles, until it gave
    up the ghost for another reason.
