Kudos for something that I wish existed before I bought my M3.
FWIW, with the re-introduced SD card slot and slimline SD holders, you can easily add 512GB to 1TB of decent-speed attached storage for larger files/backups/source, etc.
I like this solution here, however, as buying a base-level 256GB MBP will probably make up for the cost of the post-purchase surgery.
It looks like their store is here: https://www.tindie.com/stores/iboffrcc/ https://www.tindie.com/stores/iboffrcc/
A rough demo of what a different model looks like: https://iboffrcc.com/pages/-guide-solder-nvme-to-your-macbook-pro-touchbar-13-inch-2016-2017-a1706 https://iboffrcc.com/pages/-guide-solder-nvme-to-your-macboo...
From what I can see, they rescue PCIe signals from the existing NAND controller.
- runjake 2y ago> slimline SD holders Any recommendations, anyone? Edit: Looks like the Internet and mmastrac generally recommend the BASEQI adapter[1]. For built-in storage, the Transcends are pretty popular. 1. https://www.amazon.com/BASEQI-Aluminum-microSD-Adapter-MacBook/dp/B0B76FDJ9R/ https://www.amazon.com/BASEQI-Aluminum-microSD-Adapter-MacBo...
- mmastrac 2y agoBASEQI worked for me. The model numbers and support matrix are a bit confusing, but I've had it in my M3 for ~5-6 months with only one time the SD card didn't appear to be mounted after a reboot. Zero unintended ejections.
