This seems like a good solution too. Buy a fast thunderbolt 3/4 ssd, combine it with internal storage to expand it.

this method cant expand the system disk, it is useless.

it seems can even boot off the ssd when install macOS on it.. maybe I missed somehing?

you can install macos on external ssd disk and boot it from external ssd, but you cant expand the internal system disk with external ssd disk.

In the video, she created a new partition in the built in ssd disk, and expand it with external disk, this cannot expand macos system partition.

mine also custom config with 512GB storage and 10Gbps ethernet, expected arrival is 17 Dec.  How about yours?

24GB ram, 256GB ssd.

the RAM is packaged together with the cpu, thats why it take longer to deliver because custom made CPU package is low demand.

You are very wrong... we wont able to escape as inside 1 mac mini how many components are there? My wild guess is all apple product might raise at least 10%... cool2.gif
*
you are the one very wrong!

Apple silicon processor - made in Taiwan
RAM - made in Korea
SSD - made in Korea/Japan
PCB - made in China
other small components are mostly made in China

U.S.A only makes the software and design it.

Trump is an idiot thought everything can make in US, it is not that easy and can do it within few years!

So dont act like Trump!
