Apple's User-Installable Mac Pro SSD Kits Now Available With Up to 8TB of Storage for $2,800

Following an announcement earlier today, Apple is now selling SSD storage upgrade kits for the latest Mac Pro, with 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB options available. Prices range between $600 and $2,800 in the United States.

Each kit contains two SSD modules, enabling users to upgrade the internal storage capacity of a Mac Pro themselves. Until now, Apple advised customers who wanted to upgrade the built-in SSD modules to book an appointment with a Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider, as they are tied to Apple's T2 security chip.

As we demonstrated earlier this year, it is also possible to expand a Mac Pro's storage capacity by placing a third-party SSD in a PCIe slot. Another option is to install a third-party internal drive mount that connects via SATA.


Apple sells a variety of other components and accessories for the Mac Pro and its companion Pro Display XDR, including graphics modules, RAM kits, expensive wheels, a VESA mount adapter, an AUX power cable kit, and more.

8MB! No one could possibly need that much storage!

But seriously, I miss the days when you could just pop a new game in and play without waiting for a 60GB update file to download :p

"This puts a bit of a damper on all the speculation that the 7,1 could have a short lifespan in lieu of ARM coming."

Lifespan in fact may be short.

Frustrating they don't just use M.2. Im sure they could have used some software encryption to tie it to the T2 chip.
