Cool thread: [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @dosdude1 on Thread Reader App – upgrading storage from 512GB to 8TB on an M3 Max MacBook Pro (images at the bottom of this blog post: they are large):
Just finished my most difficult Apple Silicon storage upgrade yet… 512GB to 8TB on an M3 Max MacBook Pro! This was especially difficult, as it required installing around 100 extra tiny components to use the second set of 4 NANDs…
Because I didn’t have schematics for this model, I had to painstakingly hand draw this diagram to locate the correct position of each component, which I derived based on a schematic for a similar model. Definitely took a long time!
If I need to have a Silicon Mac upgraded, this is one of the people to keep an eye on and when needed visit [Wayback/Archive] Technical Support – DosLab Electronics.
Dosdude1 has been active in this field of work for quite some time. A nice article on earlier work is [Wayback/Archive] Collin Mistr’s Open-Hardware 2.5″ IDE SSD Aims to Bring Speedy Solid-State Storage to Vintage PCs – Hackster.io.
Via [Wayback/Archive] dosdude1’s Personal Web Server, I found out that Collin does software too: [Wayback/Archive] dosdude1’s Personal Web Server – Software (including macOS Patchers for Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra and Sierra)
