I think you are comparing SATA to NVME SSDs, which is unfair. Not saying Apple isn't pricing them way too high.

For those interested in the ahem, apples to apples comparison, a 1TB Samsung Evo 970 (M.2 2280 NVMe) is currently $280 on Amazon, so the Apple upgrade is is 2.6X, or $440 more expensive.

That's been the Apple way for a very long time. Nobody should be surprised by it today.

It's getting old. I'm done.

That is actually not too far of from what Dell is doing with their SSD prices when you configure a system. Or memory for that matter. So I'm not really sure what all that comparison fuss is all about. I never see a "I just built a cheaper system with same specs" comment for a Dell system.

Also: I do not own a Mac

A Dell Precision won't have an SSD permanently soldered into place.
