Has anyone data on the price development of Apple SSDs?
Since newer Macs doesn't allow for an SSD change, the initial SSD price is very important. I suspect that the fact that you have to max out your SSD on purchase if you want to use your Mac for a longer time, SSDs in Macs have actually become more expensive.
In the past, you could buy a Mac with a small SSD or even a HDD. After one or two years, you could replace your small SSD or your HDD with an up-to-date SSD and could usually benefit from lower storage prices …
- listic 14y agoWhich newer Macs do you have in mind?
- lloeki 14y agoI guess latest MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro. They're not soldeded on, but the SSD is a specific daughter-board.
- chmars 14y agoMacBook Air and the latest MacBook Pro with Retina display and of course the iMac. For iMac and MacBook Air, upgrade options are available but they are pricey and non-trivial.
- kalleboo 14y agoOWC sell an upgrade for the Air's SSD, I imagine it's just a matter of time until there's one available for the retina pro http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express
- Dylan16807 14y agoOh, I hadn't realized that even though the ram is soldered on the SSD is on a relatively-easy to remove card. It's the only thing that looks feasible to upgrade.
