Wasn't that what the whole base model discussion was about? https://www.tomshardware.com/news/macbook-pro-m2-pro-mac-mini-ssd-downgrade https://www.tomshardware.com/news/macbook-pro-m2-pro-mac-min... The upgraded speed is then perfectly adequate, but slower than a standard nvme ssd by a factor 3 or so. What you are probably thinking of is the RAM instead, which is standard lpddr5 ram but integrated into the chip (i.e. the RAM is not faster, but bandwidth is better). At absolutely ridiculous markup though.
