In this video, I perform a very convoluted 1TB storage upgrade on the A12Z-based Apple Silicon Developer Transition Kit! From the factory, these only came with one set of specs; an A12Z SoC with 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of soldered onboard storage. After a lot of work, and with some help from an A12Z-based 12.9" iPad Pro logic board, I was able to get 1TB of storage working on the DTK!

If you haven't seen my previous video of the initial repair and restore process of one of these DTK boards, you can watch that here:    • Apple Wanted this DESTROYED...
