These are the update possibilities of the iMac Pro once disassembled

Every time a new Mac model is released, within a few hours the user ability to upgrade internal components in the future, as it is: the RAM, the SSD disk and why not, in the high-end models, the possibility of replacing the graphics card. It is true that one of the advantages of Macs is that it seems that the years do not pass so quickly compared to other technological products, but at the same time, certain users need more and more power, given the demands that their tasks require. 

The Mac components company OWC, has shown curiosity in knowing the internal configuration of the new iMac Pro, since according to information, it is different from the one known in the iMac 5k. OWC, which is traditionally a manufacturer of RAM and SSD memory, has shared the experience and in Soy de Mac, we tell you.

The chosen model is the most basic iMac Pro. Starting with the RAM, this model comes standard with 32 GB. East iMac Pro has four DIMM sockets and mount 8GB on each of them. Everything indicates that the structure is the same in the models that mount 64 GB and 128 GB.

As for SSD memory, the entry model of iMac Pro has 1TB, consisting of two 512GB disks. In a RAID configuration. At the top, there is a bracket with a screw at the top, which can apparently be detached with a screwdriver and the memory changed.

Finally, although it has a great processor, this iMac Pro has the possibility of substitution in the event of an unforeseen event, as the processor is not soldered to the motherboard. Thus, it fulfills the company's promises to have a Mac where all parts can be replaced, guaranteeing peace of mind for the person who acquired it.

Therefore, on the one hand we have an iMac Pro that it is somewhat easier to disassemble than it might initially seem, as they indicated that only Apps could disassemble these equipment. We have enough baseboards to combine both new RAM memory and SSD. But still we cannot venture whether our team will be internally prepared for such an evolution. Or conversely, other hardware requirements prevent updating with certain components.

In any case, until the operability of the third-party components is verified, the OWC itself indicates the following:

Considering the relatively low trade-in value of the base option, plus 32GB, the current cost of a full 64GB or 128GB kit, and the labor involved with the upgrade, we can say that we currently recommend buying an iMac Pro with the amount of the memory that you think will be needed. While it is a great advantage to have the option in the future, today the financial benefit is relatively small compared to the factory cost differences to upgrade from that 32GB. Over time, this difference is likely to grow and there will be a real profit.

Any news in this regard we will convey to you, as many make the decision to buy a Mac or another based on the possibilities of expansion or replacement of its internal components.
