When talking about a tower, making it as small as possible should not be the main objective.Īll computers are a compromise between power and form factor (and price obviously). Having the hard drive internally would actually be more important if you had to move the box often, as you would have an easier time moving it. When you just have to leave your external drive setup in one place, it becomes more reasonable to hide it under your desk or something, so that it's a non-issue to have around.

One Thunderbolt 3 port can theoretically power a 100TB HDD RAID at full capacity if you are willing to do that.Ī tower is not meant to be moved around all the time, it is meant to stay in one place like at home or work. Wires everywhere really seems like an exaggeration. No advantage? Having internal drives is significantly more elegant. You have to draw the line somewhere, and "no moving parts" is a convenient one, and one that simplifies many other aspects of the design, and one that's consistent with everything Apple has been doing for the past 5 years, not just the most recent Mac Pro. There will never be any case design that can hold arbitrarily large amounts of storage. You're talking about increasing the costs to everybody for the 1% of the 1%. Most Mac users don't buy Mac Pros, and most Mac Pro users don't need tens of terabytes of online storage. Allowing spinning 3.5" HDDs internally means it has to be bigger, and it has to have more cooling, and that adds to the weight and parts and complexity and price. SSDs are great but when a 2TB SSD makes up like $500 of the system things are getting a little excessive.īut that's their schtick: "iMac is next year's computer for $1,299, not last year's computer for $999."Ī full SSD rig is nice but it definitely brings the cost way up for way less storage than you could get with HDDs.įor people who need 16TB, external storage is faster than ever before.
