Ready to enter mac studio, do you need to expand the hard disk?

by Poster Apr 29, 2025 13
I have seen several mac mini disk speed test questions before. It seems that the low-profile solid-state speed will not run satisfactorily. Now I want to expand the mac studio hard disk to at least how big it is when the speed is full?

    Generally, "capacity expansion" refers to going to a third party to enlarge the hard disk I am a black fruit, but I still feel that Apple will not rubbish. The speed of the original SSD (lowest gear) cannot outperform third-party ones. If there are new information sources, please update them. Finally, isn't 256G enough for mac users? Why expand?

    First of all, why do you have to run at full speed? Most applications don't show any somatosensory difference at all Besides, if you want to expand the capacity, you should at least start at 2T, which must be at full speed

    @ Anonymous2271 m4 mini, personally tested third-party 2T is faster than the original 256G

    Optional 1t hard drive is ok But unless you know that 512 is not enough, why add the hard drive just for speed

    @ Anonymous6643 # 3 Please ask which of the three parties is?

    No, you add hard drives for speed, not capacity. This idea is really strange

    @ Anonymous2271 Capacity expansion is to replace the particles on the hard disk with those with larger capacity. Apple itself also uses third-party particles, and they are not the best. It is normal to replace them with particles with larger capacity and faster speed. My m4pro The expansion is also much faster This has been around for many years. In the past, there were small-capacity single particles, but the speed was directly doubled when replaced with large-capacity double particles. Just search the speed measurement after other people's expansion and you will know

    @ Anonymous4347 Would the idea be fantastic? 😂 wants larger capacity and at the same time, it wants to know whether it can be full speed by upgrading to 1T or whether it needs to be upgraded to 2T to be full speed. Isn't this normal for people who don't know? When 1T is enough, if it can be full speed, then don't choose to upgrade to 2T. As for whether the hard disk speed is enough? After knowing this parameter, they will tend to be able to reach full speed, right?

    @ Anonymous8369 is very strange, because for modern nvme ssd hard disks, the normal demand is to care about whether its capacity is enough. In most cases, the original intention of upgrading the hard disk is to meet the capacity demand, not the speed demand. Whether it is 5000MB/s speed or 7000MB/s speed, there is no difference in 90% of scenarios. Your concern when upgrading the hard disk is whether it can run the bandwidth of the pcie channel. So it's very strange

    @ Anonymous4347 Okay, if I choose, if 2T can only be full speed, and my capacity requirement of 1T is enough, I will still choose to add some money to upgrade to 2T in order to be full speed. Even if there is no difference in somatosensory, just for the sake of [I won't worry about whether the hard drive is at full speed when I get stuck for a while, 😂], I am like this, I am not representing others 😂

    @ Anonymous8369 # 10 Then just fill it up, you will always consider it if you don't fill it up anyway

    @ Anonymous2271 It's hard to say, mac used to have the habit of castrating the lowest hard drive

    It depends on how much you need speed. It is enough for daily use to hang thunder and lightning 4 urine bags. If you have more money, you can thunder and lightning 5 urine bags
