No SSD swaps today
Unlike all of Apple’s other M1-powered computers, the Mac Studio’s storage isn’t soldered onto the mainboard, asover the weekend discovered. Getting to the SSD is a tricky business, involving removing the rubber ring on the bottom of the device, unscrewing the panel, and pulling out the unshielded power supply.
That tracks with Apple’s official line: “Mac Studio storage is not user accessible,” the company notes on the Mac Studio’s product page. “If you think you may need more storage capacity in the future, consider configuring to a higher capacity.” But my issue here is not necessarily that the Mac Studio as it exists right now isn’t user-upgradeable. It’s with the philosophy that Apple has taken to get to this point.have removable SSDs. Nothing about Apple’s design here necessitates the choice to bury it behind rubber sheets and a potentially dangerous power supply or to lock it on a software level.
But Apple made an active choice to make it impossible to upgrade the Mac Studio’s internal storage. Whether it was hoping to discourage end users from tearing apart their computers in search of cheaper SSD upgrades or because it wants to nudge customers into its pricier options — both options don’t reflect well on the company.
It’s true that the Mac Studio makes it exceedingly difficult for customers to get to the SSD slots in the first place, but that’sa choice Apple made. This isn’t a laptop or a tablet or even an ultra-slim all-in-one like the M1 iMac. It’s a desktop computer, one that presumably could have offered more expandable storage at the expense of a slightly bigger chassis.
