Click to expand... It's not soldered, but there's nothing available yet to upgrade it to, other than through Apple. That may change in time, but my guess is it won't be a user-upgradable option, meaning you'd have to void your warranty to do so.

Long term availability of this custom proprietary SSD module is suspect at best. It is as good as saying "They are simply not available", period.
