Apple Slashes Mac SSD Prices
- Thev00d00 7y agoExorbitantly expensive SSDs now only rather expensive!
- wil421 7y agoWhat about RAM? I bought 32GB of DDR4 ECC server RAM for the same price Apple charges for an 8GB upgrade. Nope, they still charge $200 and $400 for 8 and 16GB upgrades.
- scarface74 7y agoThat keeps me away from Apple laptops more than anything else. The Mac Mini and the iMacs have User upgradable RAM.
- raesene9 7y agoSo Looking at Apple's store adding a 1TB SSD to an 21.5" iMac, is now a $600 upgrade and $500 upgrade on an 27" iMac On amazon a standard consumer can buy a 1TB NVMe Samsung 970 Pro for $329, and I'm guessing Apple aren't paying anything like retail! Also shocked that Apple are still shipping systems with 5400rpm standard hard drives as default in 2019!
- scarface74 7y agoWhy is it so amazing that Apple ships low end computers with spinning hard drives? Have you seen some of the low end crap that Dell sells? The one problem I do have is that since not all iMacs use SSD, that means they don’t use the T2 chip in any of them st least as a better disk controller. Now the Mac Mini has faster storage than the iMac.
- TacticalTable 7y agoThese 'low end computers' are $1800. Dell's low end starts in the low hundreds.
- intopieces 7y ago5400rpm hard drives are fine for the education market, where the cost of upgrading to SSD adds up fast across hundreds of computers.
