It's ridiculous Apple is charging RM800 for upgrading 256GB to 512GB. I rather get external SSD drive. Western Digital external SSD 1TB only RM5xx

It is internal storage and the write and read speed are a lot better than external ssd.

It is indeed expensive but the performance is also much better.

Even WD Black SN850 NVMe with 7000MB/s read and 5300MB/s write only cost RM7xx for 1TB (RM5xx if we buy from US). Apple just had to include a M.2 slot. So no... I can never justify their ridiculous upgrade price. Speed is not an excuse for it.
