Why should you upgrade your M4 Mac Mini with this SSD?

• True upgradeability: Swap or expand storage with available sizes from 250GB to 2TB
• Higher capacity @ cheaper price: Get 2TB or 1TB of storage for less than half the price of Apple’s SSD
• Matching performance: Our SSD designed with impedance controlled 8-Layer PCB that follows PCIe 4.0 constraints while optimizing trace routing, impedance matching, and power efficiency to deliver stability and reliability.
  
• No permanent modifications: This upgrade requires zero soldering, just plug it in, and you’re set.
• Built with Murata and Samsung Electronics capacitors, we don’t cut corners by skipping essential components. Our design stays true to Apple’s original PCB and component specifications, ensuring reliability and performance that meets the standards at a fraction of the cost.

What’s included in the kit?

• 1x xNAND4 Module ( 1TB or 2TB )
  
• Tools for disassembly ( optional )

FAQ:

1. Will installing this SSD void my Mac Mini’s warranty?

• Technically, if the upgrade is done cleanly and without any visible traces, it shouldn't void your warranty. However, Apple’s warranty policies are subject to their discretion, and Apple's EULA stated that their hardware must be used with the original hardware. 

2. How long is the warranty?

• This SSD comes with a 1-year warranty or 600TBW (1TB size) or 1200TBW (2TB size) (whichever comes first), ensuring reliability and peace of mind.

3. What is the difference between Kioxia and SanDisk NANDs?

• Kioxia and SanDisk NANDs are both reputable storage solutions, but they come from different manufacturers. While both brands offer high-quality NAND flash memory, some users prefer Kioxia for its proven reliability in enterprise storage, while others choose SanDisk for its widespread use in consumer devices. Ultimately, both options provide solid performance for SSD applications.
• Both of the NAND options use PCIe 4.0, so in terms of performance, they don't differ much. Max Speed depends on the size of the NANDs, and both have the same speed at any given size. 
• Max Speed for 2TB size is 4800MB/s (Write) & 2900MB/s (Read) - 1GB File size. 
• Max Speed for 1TB size is 4000MB/s (Write) & 2900MB/s (Read)- 1GB File size.
• Kioxia is a little bit more expensive due to wide compatibility also in the latest iPhone + Mac series.
