Apple removes replaceable SSD from M6 Mac mini, adopts soldered design
Apple has removed the detachable storage design from its new M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini, making third-party SSD upgrades effectively impossible. The NAND storage is soldered directly to the logic board, unlike the 2024 M4 Mac mini, which used a detachable NAND module that could be replaced with compatible products. Prices have also risen, with the M6 starting at $899 and a 2TB configuration totaling about $1,899.
