I should point out that at the time of purchase you can upgrade the 2020 Mac mini to an internal 1 TB SSD for $400. Note: The Samsung X5 drive has TRIM support when used with macOS. This allowed macOS to operate a maximum speed, while there was sight drop in speed when accessing user files. The Mac was configured so macOS resided on the internal drive while the each user's home folder resided on the Samsung X5 drive. I quickly learned this was not enough storage. I am using a 2018 Mac mini with a 256 GB internal SSD. So storage can be expanded by adding an external Samsung X5 drive, albeit at a 18% drop in speed. Samsung specifications state the X5 Thunderbolt 3 SSD has speeds up to 2.8 GB/s.

Apple specifications state the internal drive has speeds up to 3.4 GB/s. Storage can be expanded by adding an external drive. Both the memory and the SDD are not upgradable.
