| Standard Storage: | 256, 512 GB SSD* | Std. Storage Speed: | 3.4 GB/s* |
| Details: | *The original default storage is a 256 GB SSD. On March 8, 2022, Apple quietly upgraded the standard storage to a 512 GB SSD. Apple also offers 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, or 8 TB of SSD storage configured with two 512 GB, two 1 TB, two 2 TB, or two 4 TB SSD modules, respectively. The 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, and 8 TB SSD storage upgrade options originally cost an additional US$400, US$800, US$1400, and US$2600, respectively. On March 8, 2022, Apple cut the cost of each upgrade by US$200, so the upgrade options cost US$200, US$600, US$1200, and US$2400, respectively. Apple originally reported "up to 2.6GB/s sequential read and 2.7GB/s sequential write performance" but increased this to "up to 3.4GB/s sequential read and write performance" when the system shipped on December 10, 2019.
