The teardown video also reveals that storage is modular in the new Mac mini, meaning that it can be easily removed since it is not soldered down. As we saw with the Mac Studio, however, replacing the modular storage is complicated.

Indeed, totally an Apple approach to modularity: it is a proprietary Apple SSD...

And presumably if you switch the SSD yourself, you'll brick the whole thing!

Ifixit accomplished it. Required another Mac to reinstall the OS.

I mean, if you’re swapping it for a drive with no OS on it, wouldn’t that make sense?

Older intel macs could do an internet recovery on a bare drive. The internet recovery system was part of the ROMs/BIOS.
