Locked In: New Mac Mini Models Revert to Soldered Storage Design

Apple’s latest compact desktop makes storage upgrades a thing of the past by welding the SSD directly to the logic board.
By Blip Tech 1 min read

Analysis of the newest Mac mini models powered by M6 and M5 Pro chips reveals a disappointing change for hardware enthusiasts: the NAND storage is once again soldered to the logic board. This design choice reverses the modular approach found in the previous M4 and M4 Pro generation, which allowed for potential storage swaps. By integrating the SSD permanently, the new hardware prevents any future capacity increases or easy data recovery from failed boards, forcing buyers to commit to their storage needs at the point of purchase.
