How do I choose storage on a Mac?

If you are looking for what Mac storage you should buy according to your needs, this is the point that interests you. Choosing the appropriate capacity to have enough space is a more relevant aspect of the Mac than you may think.
First, you should know that the base capacity also depends on the Mac model you are looking for.

In MacBook Air, iMac, or Mac mini models, the base capacity is 256GB of SSD storage.
While in more powerful models such as the MacBook Pro or Mac Studio, this part is 512GB.

In addition, you should consider what types of tasks you perform with your Mac. If, for example, you usually use it to browse the Internet, watch multimedia content, or respond to emails, the base 256GB or 512GB will be more than enough for you. And if, on the other hand, you usually work with large files, or high-resolution videos and photos, we recommend a higher capacity.

Can the storage capacity of the Mac be expanded?

In addition to the previous step, if you are one of those who need more storage, we tell you that the capacity of your Mac, like other components such as its RAM, can be configured to suit you at the time of purchase. And, in cases like the one we have explained to you previously, if you have a more professional profile you will need to expand the storage.
On our website, we have a configurator for each Mac model so you can configure it to measure. Please note that as this is a manufacturing request outside of the models, it has longer delivery times.
However, we have different Mac options with RAM and/or expanded storage within each Mac category so you can get your new Mac in 24 hours. If this is your case, go here to see the available Mac models!
