    Fledging Feather M13 NVMe SSD on an iMac?

    I wonder why nobody is talking about this 3rd Party NVMe SSD upgrade solution for iMacs. I believe they've been around for a while now. Just wanted to know if anyone here has tried upgrading their iMac to this NVMe SSD and how's it so far? https://fledging.net/feather-m13/

    Is 1TB SSD faster than 512GB SSD?

    For the 2019 iMac, anyone has any idea if that is true? I remember someone posted when Mac mini came out that the larger the SDD the faster it is. I wonder if that also is the case for iMac? If so, by how much? Thanks!
