[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1935010, member: 190607"] So, this is going to blow some people's minds. But I just learned that the SSD's in all of Apple's M2-based Macs aren't part of the SOC, they are actually soldered to the motherboard!

SSD's still aren't nominally replaceable or upgradeable. It's just an interesting, and unexpected, change from the M1. [/QUOTE]
