A terabyte of dead-slow and flaky SSD costs a hundred bucks, sure. But it doesn't matter much because, in the kinds of professional workflows this machine is targeting, local storage is more like swap space than anything. It needs to be fast more than it needs to be big.

A 1TB Samsung 980 Pro is $150 retail and arguably overpriced. 512GB in a $2000 computer is a joke in 2022.

You're forgetting Apple sources their SSDs from the same merchant that sold Jack the magic beanstalk beans. Or they just get generic chips from Hynix. One of those.

>arguably overpriced

Find me a 1TB SSD that perform as fast as Samsung 980 Pro and is much cheaper. Say under $125.
