M1 MacBook Storage Upgrade to the Highest 2TB Capacity
- roughly 3y agoAnd people say Macs aren’t upgradeable.

- thefz 3y agoOr Just buy hardware that can be repaired and upgraded by the user.
- bananapub 3y agoit really would be great if anyone else bothered to make laptops as nice as Apple and then also put even more effort into making them customisable/repairable after sale but sadly no one has.
- locusofself 3y agoI love my macbok air m1 a lot. But I bought the 8gb model and I really would like to have 16 or 24gb RAM. It's really annoying that I can't just slap some RAM in it.
- david_allison 3y agoNote: this is an upgrade for the Air. The M1 Pro's max capacity is 8TB.
- extraduder_ire 3y agoI do wonder if this is cheap and low risk enough to get a repair shop with these kinds of skills to do it for you, rather than paying for the upgraded storage. If it were at all common though, I'd expect apple to change something so you couldn't re-pair the M1-3 CPU to replacement chips without some internal tool. >Firstly, the SSD is usually placed on the outer borders of the MacBook, making it the most accessible to liquid ingress. Secondly, the power delivery system involves a buck converter circuit controller by a BGA IC. This means that high voltages are placed within millimetres of the sensitive lower-voltage lines that power the SSD’s chips. Liquid can easily cause a short circuit that sends higher voltage to the SSD, destroying the chip and preventing any possibility of data recovery. Maybe sell a $15 upcharge to conformal coat most of the logic board whenever you're doing a third party repair.
