I'm doing Time Machine local, Carbon Copy Cloner local and to NAS, and USB-Copy from NAS to external USB HDD. All bases covered and then some, including a disk in the gun safe and offsite.
I was looking at the Apple website and the storage pricing goes like this:
- 256 to 512 +$200
- 512 to 1TB +$200
- 1TB to 2TB +$400
In my case I feel more comfortable having at least 512GB for my general purpose computing for a couple reasons. My Intel Mac Mini has 1TB and 312GB is consumed. Had it been a 512GB SSD I'd have 200GB free which is still plenty of headroom for user and 'wear leveling'. 256 would be insufficient.
However, my Mac Mini M1 music server has only 256GB but it's just a dedicated music server.
My next Mac Mini will either have 512GB of Apple storage.... Or I might 3rd party upgrade to 2TB. Most recent Mac Minis had NAND storage soldered directly to the motherboard but the new Mac Mini M4's (and the Mac Studio) use a proprietary module. The key word being 'proprietary' but at least one company based in China is making them. I'm sure more will come on board including some in the US. We'll have to wait and see.
The end user upgrade process is a little more involved than just swapping a module. You'll need another recent Mac (2015 or newer) to run DFU mode between the two Macs over a USB-C cable.
