M4 Mac Mini SSD modded from 256GB to 1TB — modder solders higher-capacity NAND to the removable SSD module

You still need to source blank NAND modules, have a spare machine on deck, and be able to solder them.

Yeah not feasible except for a tiny minority. I wonder if people would offer this as a service though. I presume the actual modules are cryptographically paired to the Mac so you can't just get entirely new modules.

I could totally imagine posting my module to someone else to upgrade though.
no but 265gb on a mac is like 1tb on a normal computer. there's no point in this.

being serious though, to make the parts modular but proprietary. For the price increase of 2tb of mac ssd I could put 48tb of spinning disk and 2tb of nvme for farser writes in my server.

edit: it was 48 not 32...
