After expanding the iPad from 64G to 512G, I got eight times happiness

XDM, I expanded my iPad mini 6 from 64GB to 512GB, thus giving eight times happiness!

The cause of the matter has to start with the iPad mini 6 I bought last year. Whether Apple products are iPhone, Mac or iPad, the difference between the difference between the high and low -ending must be known.

Take the iPad mini 6 model, for example, the 256GB high version is more than 1,200 yuan than the 64GB lower version. This difference is more than enough to equip the iPad with a second -generation Apple Pencil. Essence Essence

Considering that the two versions are the same except for the capacity, I still chose to start the 64GB iPad mini 6 at the time. However, I realized that 64GB was really not enough.

The optical system occupies a storage space of almost 10GB. The original God and King Glory have been loaded, and the 25GB space is gone, let alone WeChat, a large household in WeChat.

So that every time, I have to clean up the WeChat chat history and back up the photos to the cloud disk.

After persistence for more than half a year, I was really fed up with such a life -deduction life, so I decided to expand it!

The expansion, as the name suggests, is to use a large -capacity hard disk to replace the original hard disk, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the capacity. Because it involves disassembly, once the iPad is expanded, it is equivalent to no warranty.

but. Essence Essence Can't hold it cheap!

Tony asked a large circle in a certain treasure and found that the iPad or iPhone expanded to 512GB, only 500-700; the expansion to 1TB was 800-1000, not only cheap but also full.

After many comparisons, I soon chose a local maintenance store that can provide capacity expansion services. After asking the address on the online question, I took my iPad Mini 6 that night.

Don't say, the iPad is quite fast to expand. Except for the queue time, the whole process only took almost two hours.

The master got a routine inspection on it first to ensure that the function began to flash after the function was normal. While waiting for the flashing, he also took out a 512GB hard disk to plant tin.

Because the iPad mini 6 itself does not have the option of 512GB, this time the capacity is used to adapt to the iPhone 13 Pro hard disk. From the above logo, we can see that this hard disk looks like Hylos:

Of course, it is unclear whether it is really produced from Hynix, or it may be just the OEM of Huaqiangbei ~

After the iPad is completed, the disassembly session is next.

I saw the master put the iPad after shutting down on a large heating pad, and then fixed the iPad with one hand, and the other hand opened the non -dry glue between the screen and the border with a tap.

After a while, the iPad's screen was separated from the fuselage. One said that the whole process saw that I was shocked, for fear that the master was too hard, and the screen was broken by accident ~

After disconnecting the power supply line, the master did not forget to stick a tape at the front camera to prevent the dust from entering, and then began to remove the fixed screws, connecting cables and shielding masks on the motherboard step by step.

I have to say that Apple is very confident in the energy consumption of the A series chips. The entire motherboard has not done much heat dissipation, and even silicon grease is not applied. The three large chips are hard disks, SOC, and power management chips from top to bottom:

After removing the original hard disk through the hot air gun, the residual tin on the contacts and the surrounding seals were cleaned, and the 512GB hard disk that had just been planted to the tin just planted the expansion.

It can be said that the final key to expand the capacity is to operate the master's craftsmanship. In case the hard disk is not welded, it will cause loss or partial welding, then this iPad will have a high probability that it will not be able to turn on the machine.

After doing the previous, I saw that the master brushed the iPad again, and brushed the underlying data on the original hard disk into the new hard disk. After the confirmation function was normal, it was re -assembled back.

At this time, turn on the settings, and in this machine, you can see that the total capacity of this iPad mini 6 has changed from the original 64GB to the current 512GB, and the slums suddenly become a big mans!

Before expanding the capacity, Tony also specifically tested the read and write speed of the original hard disk. It was found that its reading and writing speed can only be said to be general. The reading speed is only about 500MB/s, and the writing speed is only 300MB/s:

After replacing the 512GB hard disk, its reading speed came to 1500MB/s, and the writing speed also had 1200MB/s. Whether it was reading speed or writing speed, it had a qualitative improvement:

So that this iPad's Antutu running directly increased directly by 3W, which I didn't expect. Essence Essence

Do you want to ask me 512GB's iPad is cool, that must be cool, the game is casual, the movie is casual, don't be too comfortable.Of course, it is not no risk to expand the ipad.

In addition to the loss of warranty that Tony said earlier, because the iPad disassembled the screen and moved the motherboard during the expansion process, the probability of it would definitely be higher than the original machine that had not been demolished at all.

Some problems may not happen during the end of the expansion, but the time may be exposed after a long time, depending on whether you can accept this risk. Finding a skilled master can reduce the risk.

However, compared to the thousands of additional storage of Apple's officials, finding a third party to expand the IPAD capacity is relatively cost -effective. Think about it, this risk seems to be.EssenceEssenceIsn't it impossible?

In addition, the expansion machine is not very popular in the second -hand market. If you plan to sell your iPad in the future, it is best not to expand the capacity.

I hope this article can give you a reference, thank you for watching!
