Lexar NVME SSD

I used this NVMe as the affordable way to get 1TB storage without paying Apple’s upgrade pricing. Once installed in an enclosure and formatted to APFS, it’s perfect for moving apps and projects off the internal drive. That extra headroom is essential on the 256GB Mac Mini.

Pros

+Affordable way to add 1TB storage versus Apple upgrades
+Works great in an enclosure for running apps and storing projects
+Helps prevent the base model from filling up too quickly

Cons

-Requires an enclosure to use with the Mac Mini
-Real-world speeds depend on the enclosure and connection
