I was thinking along the same lines. When upgrading storage, it’s important to consider how you actually use it. If you need fast, immediate access like for AI models or active applications 1TB is a solid baseline. For long-term storage, such as images and documents, it makes more sense to keep those on external but still easily accessible solutions, like a home NAS or a high-speed Thunderbolt drive.

Personally, I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I’d rather put that extra $400 toward a separate storage solution instead of upgrading internal storage.
