Apple charges $800 to upgrade the Mac mini from 256 GB to 2 TB of storage. Recently, more affordable third-party upgrade kits became available for under $300, offering significant savings. The process involves opening the Mac mini and entering DFU mode using another Apple Silicon Mac. Performance improvements are modest, but the savings are substantial. These upgrade kits are sourced from the same manufacturer and may have delayed shipping during the Chinese New Year.
