On: 27-inch iMac gets a major update

It seems crazy. I bought a 2TB M.2 PCIE gen 3 drive not too long ago for 200 EUR.

These drives are so tiny now they could easy offer an expansion slot which is accessible to the user, like the PS5 will. I miss the early-2000s era Apple who would actually do something like that.

I wish there was a consumer level standard for NVME drives caddies like the ones that are emerging for servers.

Like this but for consumers. https://www.anandtech.com/show/11702/intel-introduces-new-ru...

At least Thunderbolt gives a theoretical 40 Gbps expansion option, if not as clean as having it built-in would be.

$100-$150 for an enclosure, so that's still going to be cheaper than Apple's markup.
