Since its switch to Apple Silicon, Apple has soldered the storage to the mainboard in a way that makes it a nightmare to change. While other notebooks and computers use M.2 and SATA-based drives for the most part, Apple instead relies on solder.
This makes the prospect of upgrading the storage almost impossible for the average user, barring the use of one of the best SSDs for Mac. Unless you have electronics knowledge, nerves of steel, and cash to replace components on standby, it’s not advisable to try out.
