3 Things to Know About the Mac Pro M2 Ultra’s SSD

The SSD uses a proprietary Apple controller built into the M2 Ultra chip. There is no standard NVMe or SATA interface, so third-party drives are incompatible.

The drive connects via an internal bus, not a removable slot. This means you cannot upgrade or replace the SSD yourself.

For a machine that costs as much as a car, this locked-down design is a major drawback. It limits repairability and future storage expansion.
