To nobody’s surprise, Apple has made it a challenge to crack into the Mac Studio. Apple started shipping its new desktop, the Mac Studio, on March 18 and there’s since been a few teardown videos from tech YouTubers. The most recent entry from iFixit, which is known for its repair guides and repairability scores, gave us a better insight into how the SSDs work.
In the breakdown, iFixit is able to swap SSDs of the same size between two Mac Studios by doing a DFU restore. When it comes to upgradability, iFixit tries to add an SSD from another base model into the Mac Studio’s empty secondary SSD slot, but is unable to get it to boot. It did note that there could be a software update that allows for SSD upgradability in the future, however.
