The pricing of Apples basic M4 Mac MINI undoubtedly makes its competitors be ashamed, because the price of $ 599 can be easily afforded by most buyers.The only disadvantage of this hardware is that it can only obtain 256GB of storage space, and unless it is proficient in micro -welding technology, it cannot be upgraded, which is not so for most Apple consumers.In this case, it is necessary to be responsible for the storage management, but a modified person shows how easy it is to upgrade from 256GB to 2TB, provided that you have the right tools and skills.
To avoid " tax", that is, upgrading the storage device must pay a high premium, YouTuber and YouTuber andHardware modification expert Dosdude1 learned how to micro -welding NAND flash chips on the logic board, thereby avoiding the technology giant welding storage equipment to earn a high -amount premium for money.This time, he got the basic version of the M4 Mac mini. We have already said above that its storage capacity is only 256GB.
In the latest disassembly video, we learned that this small machine is equipped with a detachable solid -state hard disk module.The module has a storage capacity of 256GB and uses two 128GB NAND chips to ensure that the M4 Mac mini provides excellent read and write performance, which means that the modifiedrs need two 1TB NAND chips to upgrade it to 2TB.
Although this process is successful, Dosdude1 found that he received a batch of bad storage chips, which forced him to use two 512GB NAND memory to upgrade 1TB.If you want to configure the same 1TB storage device on the M4 Mac mini, but buy it from Apples website, you need to pay an additional $ 400, so the total price will reach $ 999.
