[Gadgets] Mac Studio disassembly reveals SSD space upgradeability

[SaLaH.]

While Max Tech took apart Apple's latest Mac Studio desktop device, channel host Max Yuryev discovered something interesting about Apple's new hardware: two SSD ports. This could mean that Mac Studio's storage is upgradeable after all it's been said not.

And there's more good news, accessing the SSD slots appears to be relatively easy - in the video, Yurev removes the wrap-around rubber bracket as the base of the device to reveal four screws that attach to the bottom of the case. After removing that board, Yurif discovered two SSD ports located under the Mac Studio's power supply, which he indicates can be accessed without disassembling the device any further, you can find this at minute (5:46) of the attached video.

As Yurif continued to disassemble the Mac Studio, removing the power supply and aluminum liner, he took a closer look at the SSD ports at the minute (8:24). At first glance, he said that the ports are similar to those on the 2019 Mac Pro, but when he tries to install the Mac Pro's SSD, he finds it is completely unsuitable for its large size. Apple's proprietary SSD suite for Mac Pro allows users to replace an existing SSD with one that supports up to 8TB of storage

But as Yuriev points out, the Apple note on the product page, talking here of Mac Studio, starkly says that users can't access the device's storage. Apple's note states, "The user cannot access the Mac Studio storage. If you think you may need more storage in the future, consider configuring to a higher capacity.”

Mac Studio can be purchased with an internal storage capacity of up to 8TB; A standard model with a 512GB SSD costs $1,999, and the eight-terabyte version adds an extra $2,400. While the studio's internal storage may be upgradable at some point, it's worth noting that because RAM is built into Apple's M1 chip, there's no way to upgrade it after you purchase the device.
