the Studio doesn't use nvme but it does put its storage on a removable card. The mac mini does as well. So you don't have to pay Apple for the storage you want. There are places which sell storage upgrades for the Mini and the M1 Studio, and they, of course, are cheaper than what Apple charges for the upgrade when you buy the machine. dosdude1 on youtube has some videos of this exact upgrade, and a bit of googling will help you find vendors. I am assuming that this M3 and M4 Studio will be the same, but that's not a guarantee.
- blacksmith_tb 2y agoI see iFixit[1] rates the storage swap for the M4 Mini as "moderate", I remember thinking that popping RAM in my old 2018 Intel Mini was harder than most laptop repairs I have done... I think I will probably settle for an external nVME enclosure when I get one. 1: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Replace+the+SSD+in+your+Mac+mini+(2024)/180199 https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Replace+the+SSD+in+your+...
