What are the risks of upgrading Apple silicon storage?

Answer 1

Replacing or increasing storage space in an Apple silicon device such as the M1 Mac Mini is quite an undertaking, and an extremely technical one at that. Dealing with sensitive devices, employing a hot air station, making sure that only a few sets of NAND will be needed because some are bound to fail – it all comes with the job. Moreover, it is required to swap in the NANDs which were configured for use with Apple’s Configurator, which poses the risk of disabling the device if it is performed incorrectly.

Would definitely love to see you guys upgrade an M2 MacBook Pro

Where did you get those blank nands from?

Key if desolder is high temp and short duration. Get some heat shielding tapes around.

There is a small cheap device for programming NAND, controllers etc. YOu just need to program the chip before solder it to the MB. 3 mins operation, fast and easy. Works like a charm with every chips.

So I've been a mac tech for 25 years, but back in the day it was only basic soldering...may have to invest into this, as it is only going to be more micro soldering from here out. This is actually fairly manageable - just small. Probably easier than trying to get an old SCSI array rebuilt from a partial tape backups - HAHA!
