M4 Mac mini SSD Upgrade Kit!


 

You can now get a third-party internal storage (SSD) upgrade kit for the new M4 Mac mini!

(The M4 Mac mini has a slotted and upgradeable internal SSD.)

How to upgrade the SSD in your M4 Mac mini


When purchasing an M4 Mac mini, a 2TB SSD adds a $800 premium to the total when purchased from Apple. This upgrade is far less than that, at $259 shipped to your door! However, the upgrade requires some skill, and the ability to see extremely small screws.

Would that void the warranty?

I previously said, ¡°Would that void the warranty?¡±

Never mind, I¡¯ve answered my own question. Last sentence of the article is, ¡°The operation isn't warranty-voiding, but we're also certain that it's the first thing Apple is going to blame if something goes wrong with the computer.¡± I think that¡¯s something to keep in mind also.

LEGALLY, it CAN¡¯T void the warranty. However, Apple won¡¯t warranty the upgraded SSD itself. The upgraded SSD will be warrantied by the company that makes the upgrade kit.
