As someone who has dabbled in far less sophisticated soldering adventures - this was a complete and utter slap in the face, you made that look so trivial and easy that I want to throw out all my soldering gear and take up gardening. Breathtaking from start to finish - a true master displaying his craft. For most people removing bga chips is already risky and error prone, you just did it x4 and x2 of those times were just to show us that it wasn't going to work! plus 40 tiny SMD components?? Black. Effin. Magic.

Dear Collin, You have just made my day, my week, and my year. It IS UNDERSTANDABLE, I get why people say "it is soldered in - impossible to upgrade the storage" on this machine. And talking to myself, I go "well, exactly, how do they do it at the manufacturing plant where these computers are made?". Thank you so much. Challenging . . . yes, Difficult . . . yes. But possible? Definitely. You have definitely shown that, with the right tools, skills, schematics, etc., that even the latest, most modern computers . . . can move beyond 128GB. Lovely, lovely, video. Thank you so much. John M. 😄👍

Hands down the most interesting and detailed SMD video on Apple products. There are 2 areas where you got extremely lucky with this project. First, the single Nand board came with all internal traces and Via's intact to power and operate both installed chips. Second, Bios on the board was not locked down to prevent hardware "upgrades" even in this extreme use case. Kudos to you and your craftsmanship

Hey dosdude! I can confirm that the 128 gig configuration of the M1 Air is real, as my school gives them to the students (I'm typing this comment on it now). I can also confirm that 128 gigs of storage (115 usable, not including preboot, vm, macos, "system data", and school bloatware) is way worse than it even sounds. Ever since my first year of owning this computer, I have been CONSTANTLY running out of storage. It really has infuriated me to no end, especially with MacOS' beyond terrible storage management. It has been a massive headache, and the worst part is that the school made this decision, despite my parents completely paying for the computer (and they would be more than willing to pay a bit more for me to have gotten an actually usable storage configuration, but because they're soldered, there's nothing we can do). Thanks for sticking it to Apple one soldered SSD at a time! Edit: I also forgot to mention that using BlackMagic Disk Speed Test, the speed of the SSD is halved, so it has only about 1500 megabyte per second for read and write, instead of the normal M1 3000
@dosdude1
@dosdude1 9 ай бұрын
Well, if it's paid for and not the school's property any longer, you can upgrade it. May be worth it. Paying someone like me to do the 2TB upgrade costs less than buying the 1TB config straight from Apple when ordering the machine new.

Not only soldered but glued down too! Its one thing to do some BGA rework, but BGA desoldering with the underfill makes it way more risky. I'd love to hear an engineers real reasoning behind it, because to me it just seems like an extra f-u to being able to fix these boards. I'm sure its for "durability" but is a BGA chip really going to rip off in a drop? Maybe if you launch it out of a trebuchet into a concrete wall.

This is seriously amazing👍Your persistence is exemplary and int the u r rewarded with making it work, awesome! This is another reason why soldered and non modular systems r pain in the ass for users and have huge impact on the environment through e-waste. Soldered on package RAM like with all Mx processors makes sense, however u could argue there could be a special upgrade high performance slot as well (not inefficient SODIMM). However when it comes to the SSD storage it's inexcusable that M.2 upgrade slot isn't available besides soldered NAND modules. Especially when speeds of their soldered SSD is sometimes even lower than the current gen M.2 PCIE speed. Even consoles which r used for one thing only like PS and partially Xbox as well have modular and upgradeable storage. Apple should finally stand behind their claim of making their Mac machines green and environmentally sustainable by making them first and foremost as much as MODULAR as possible!

I know, less than 100GB free with OS installed too haha. At least it wasn't sold to the general public, only schools I guess.

reminds me of some of these HP Streams, some had a actual Haswell-ULV Celerons rather than Atom-derived stuff yet only 32GB of soldered eMMC storage and no SATA ports and these HP's were sold to general public!

Another great video. Appreciate the attention to detail. Well, I will probably never be going to perform such upgrade, but I enjoyed watching it nonetheless.

So when you get new completely blank NANDs, the Mac is able to automatically set them up as 0 and 1 during the DFU programming and you don't need the dumps and the programmer? Thank you for showing us what it takes to populate the components for the second NAND. Yikes! Now I see why that's not such a popular modification. You are amazing! Wow!

That is correct. No programming needed if NANDs are blank/new/unused.

@@dosdude1 hey just asking out of curiosity, in the jcid soft, you can wipe the nands, it's in the iphone options though....can you try and tell us if just wiping it through that allows it to simply be soldered on the board? from what i know the memory and firmware side on these chips are separated and the dfu soft might refuse to restore the chip because it still has data maping on it....(data safety policy). Wiping the data map on the firmware side might solve the issue....well just a theory.

@@Neo_AIO True, makes sense, if blank nands are really blank when you purchase them then one would think you could simply erase them to return to that blank state if you programmed something onto them at any point.

Great work but I really, really hate that this is necessary. Sad to think of how these great machines will end up as e-waste long before their time simply because mere mortals (unlike yourself) cannot upgrade their storage.
