I ordered an unusual M6 Mac mini configuration: 24GB of memory with only 256GB of storage. In this video, I explain why I chose it, why I sold my M4 Mac mini before the M6 announcement, and how I plan to avoid Apple’s expensive storage upgrades.

I’ll test whether my M4 Mac mini SSD works inside the M6. If it doesn’t, I’ll use my external Home Drive method as a backup. I also explain why 24GB unlocks faster memory bandwidth and makes more sense for my DaVinci Resolve workflow.
Would you take the same storage gamble—or pay Apple for a larger SSD?
