Adding top quality, high speed, SSD external storage has become a must for most Mac users in recent years. This is mostly driven by the fact that Apple has eliminated user replaceable storage in all the various platforms, and they charge a small fortune for their built-in onboard SSD storage. This problem has affected newer Mac Minis (M1), all Macbook Air, all recent MacBook Pro, and recently even the iMac (M1). Below is a selection of the top SSD drives available through Amazon.com.
