hard work and a good education.
If you bought a Samsung 830 to put in a laptop, you still retain the old drive to use or sell. So there is more value in buying aftermarket.
I would wait until OWC releases their drives and buy one of those.
Reuse in external box that OWC sells.I doubt selling base-level SSD drives would be any easier than selling base-level memory modules from MBPros. They do not represent an "upgrade" since everyone already has one if they purchased entry level machines. The only market would be for users who had a defective unit and wanted an exact replacement.
The cheapest 2.5" 512gb ssd is around $400 but you don't get the same speed prformance and it's doesn't fit in the MBA so if you think about it that way it's not too bad.
Given that SSDs are now selling for less than $1 per GB, paying $500 for 256GB is kind of expensive. However, Apple can charge what they want and people will pay since it's the only way to get a 512GB (for now).
512GB SSDs range from $400-$800, which is a bargain considering how much they were a few years ago. But remember that the 128GB SSD price is already "included" so to speak, so you might be shelling out $700 total for the SSD.
Would you buy the 512, or the i7 Hellhammer?
Is it possible to uppgrade the ssd to a lager one at a later point?
Apple buyers seem really easy to upsell to $3,800.
Where does all the money come from? Posting that would make this forum very interesting.
Me too! Maxed out 11"
I got the 512GB SSD.
NO REGRETS!

No, no, no
It is marketing.
The price points for Apple products are really smart.
