700$ for 4TB! Getting robbed in broad daylight and writing a happy blogpost about it

  Custom low volume hardware is going to be more expensive.

  Getting robbed less is better than getting robbed more.

    True. But I don't know if I’d be gleeful if the robber left me the credit cards and took the cash. Looks like you also have to do the upgrade yourself (so it’s not all just cash money being forked over).

      Also surely voids AppleCare, if you have it.

  > I was provided the $699 M4 Pro 4TB SSD upgrade by M4-SSD. It's quite expensive (especially compared to normal 4TB NVMe SSDs, which range from $200-400)...

  Yes, that kind of culture is why while I appreciate many of Apple's technologies, I rather let customers or employers provide hardware if they feel so inclined for me to use Apple. Privately it is all about Linux/Windows/Android. Very good insights, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cult_of_Mac https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cult_of_Mac

  Behold the power of the Reality Distortion Field. Apple marketing is insane.
