To be fair, Apple's devices can be obtained for a fair price in their 
default configurations. Sure, the storage might be smaller than expected 
and they might have less RAM than computers at the same price, but the 
screen quality and battery life need to be considered. However, 
upgrading that default configuration is prohibitively expensive.

"Expensive" ... if one only focuses on "TB of Storage" and ignores the 
net performance levels obtained.

A classical example is assuming that all SSDs perform the same, so since 
one can get a 1TB SATA SSD for $25 at WalMart, that therefore any other 
SSD configuration must be a 'rip off'///


No matter how much higher its bandwidth is:

SATA-3 SSD: ~550MB/sec
NVMe PCIe Gen 3 SSD:  ~3,500MB/sec
2022 Mac Studio M1 Max: ~5000(R) to 6,500(W) MB/sec

Particularly since smaller storage can be read/written so much
quicker, because there is so much less data to transfer!

I notice you omit Gen 4, which was already available on PCs in 2022.

According to the PCI Express table on Wikipedia, they can get to 7,877 
GB/s at x4 which is the most common rate. Did you purposefully ignore 
that information to make the Apple "deal" on storage prices appear better?

What about PCI Express 5.0, which is also already available on PCs and 
doubles that rate?

Sure because we've been talking about real world systems that posters 
here like Joel own, and presently I don't own a Gen 4 system yet.

Reason being is a combination of purchase cycles / lifecycles, as well 
as not having an objective performance requirement for it:  as I already 
have mentioned, my current system is capable of 8K video editing, and 
since my best system is capable of 4K, I don't need it yet.

Keyword being "can".  My own benchmarking tests have found that I "can" 
hit ~6300 MB/sec, but that's not the minimum.

And "what about" the current M4 series Mac Studio too?

As I've alluded to, higher system capabilities are relevant when there's 
a reasonable objective need, which can also be informed by near term 
'future proofing' plans.

For example, 8K video has hit the early adopter market, such as the MSRP 
$4500 Canon EOS R5, which informed my future capability plan.  For the 
4K 'early mainstream' market, the Canon EOS R6 is closer to my price 
point, at roughly half the R5's retail price.

Moving to Smartphones, there's of course going to be a pretty big gulf 
in image quality between any smartphone and a 24x35mm full frame sensor, 
but for those who don't care, 4K's been around for quite awhile and 
Apple doesn't offer 8K yet, although there's been a few Androids for 
those who care.

Looking another generation down the road beyond 8K, that's 12K video; 
Blackmagic has a system which starts at $7K (body only).  Of course 
there will also be crappy quality smartphone sized systems too for the 
people who don't know better and/or only care about "Sunny 16" conditions.

Since Gen 4 machines have been available for years now with Gen 5 being 
the current default, there is no reason to suggest that these kinds of 
systems aren't real.

I'm nowhere near that for now, but my machine supports PCIe 3.0 x4 at 
best. Still, it's more than fast enough for my needs.

As far as I know, the Mac Studio is nowhere near as affordable as 
typical machine with PCIe 5.0.

Its not that Gen4 isn't real, but rather than they're not yet widely 
deployed long enough yet to have a large enough marketshare in the 
installed base to make their performance all that relevant yet.

Its basically because PCI 4 had "bad" timing:  it didn't get deployed on 
consumer platforms until it had a suitable chipset which was circa early 
2020...which aligns with the onset of CoVid.  With PCI 4 deployment 
caught in the supply chain mess, it missed the boat (literally).  The 
demand surge for telework/school/etc prompted buying "off the shelf" in 
stock PCs because of timelines & supply chain shortages, and these were 
PCI 3 systems.

After 2020, even with supply chains recovering, much of the home PC 
market was in a lull, because their normal replacement cycles had been 
disrupted by the 2020 demand surge.  With their home PCs from CoVid now 
hitting five years old, they're just starting to enter the market for 
its replacement, which of course will be PCI 4 when they do buy.  With 
tariffs and an economic downturn risk, there's likely going to be 
another demand lull.

For businesses who CoVid-surged PCs too, they will also be factoring in 
their IRS tax depreciation of five (5) years: (3/2020 +60mo) = 4/2025: 
this window has literally just opened.

one shouldn't be criticizing those who do & pay more for higher I/O.

Ditto other metrics vulnerable to gross oversimplification, such as 
claiming that all SSDs are "rip offs" because hard drives are cheaper 
per TB: on tech-savvy newsgroups, we should be expected to be better.

Care to provide an example of one of these "typical" PCIe 5 PCs?

FWIW, I did spend a little bit of time looking at a Dell Alienware which 
advertised PCIe 5, but an element which stood out at me was that had a 
16x lane slot for a GPU, but since PCIe 5 specs are gamer-centric and 
has up to 16 CPU PCIe 5.0 lanes and up to four CPU PCIe 4.0 lanes, the 
ramifications here are that if all 16x went to the GPU, that only leaves 
a PCIe 4 4x slot for its NVMe slot ... which isn't a performance boost 
at all for onboard storage.


After all, a standard PCIe-5 slot has half the bandwidth of a PCIe-4's 
4x slot:  ~The Devil's in the Details!~

I do believe that you are correct here, which would probably explain why 
most of the machines I looked at had PCIe 4.0 written as the type of NVMe.

"The models featuring PCIe 5 are likely to be expensive. Tom's Hardware 
reports that the flagships will break the $5,000 mark, but the lower-end 
Pulse, Katana, and Cyborg systems will be more affordable."

There should be updates on those price estimates by now; for basic 
reference, the M4 Max Studio starts at $2K, although there's also other 
Macs and other M4's, such as the mini with an M4 for $600, or an M4 Pro 
for $1400, as well as thread-relevant updated M4 Macbook Air for $1K. 
Plus a pretty loaded base M4 Max MacBook Pro for $3200 (14/32 cores with 
36GB RAM/1TB SSD).

It was an unexpected & interesting find on my part, although it does 
make sense:  the customer demand pull is gaming, so that's where the 
focus is.  In the meantime, NVMe on PCIe-4 4x meets current "working 
purposes" capability needs, as illustrated by how my older system 
benches fine for editing 8K video, and 12K only effectively exists in 
the 'even more professional' realm, which means that NVMe only needs to 
be one step ahead of the capability need instead of two steps ahead.

For what lies ahead, my guess is that the next step is more probably to 
go to "PCIe-5.1" so as to expand out to more PCIe-5 lanes instead of 
going to a PCIe-6 to double speeds without as much lane expansion.
Either way, time will tell.

Good catch. While they are available, only the most dedicated gamers 
will see a point to spending that much. I'm more of a casual gamer and 
always have been, and I'm quite good with the RTX 3060 mobile from 2021 
too. Heck, I just learned that an RTx 5060 mobile is only 43% faster 
than what I have, and my PCIe 3.0 x4 is always way faster than I would 
need to play a game.

I think that computers have been, for a while now, at a point where 
they're still getting faster, but there is no point to upgrading unless 
they break. I'm sure that even the 2010 laptop I replaced in 2015 would 
have done a decent job of completing most of my work today given a 
chance. I wouldn't be editing 4k video, but I don't even do that now.

Agreed - the rational consumer only buys the capabilities that they 
actually need (plus realistic expectations/contingencies too).

PC's reached the point of pragmatic "good enough" for most applications 
probably a decade or so ago, so their lifecycle is now "run them until 
they die", unless there's some other capability need or motivation.  One 
can notice this with the rise of laptops & demise of the tower desktops 
(latter was a compromise of size for more power) since 2008.

Probably, although keeping up-to-date on software & OS is a factor too; 
on the Windows side, Win11 needs TPM 2.0, which didn't hit the market 
until after 2015.  Personally, I replaced a seven year old (2017) laptop 
last year partly because it was fading (battery was starting to go, and 
MacOS 14 (Sonoma) didn't support it), but also because I could: it had 
already been fully depreciated and a good priced replacement afforded 
itself.


> I wouldn't be editing 4k video, but I don't even do that now.
I knew that 4K video was in my roadmap when I bought this 2022 desktop.
I was already paying attention (not quite 'shopping') and found what I 
wanted in 2023.

Have you priced out 10Gbit/s Ethernet NICs for Macs?

Maybe I'm missing something, but most are over $100.

Can get one for PC for consumer prices, some less than $50:

In my experience Macs excel in several areas and those are:

1. Plug it in and it's ready to go other than updates.
2. Consistency across Apple devices like iPads, Apple watches and so forth.
Literally plug a new device in and answer a few very basic questions and it's good to go.
3. Resale value of Apple devices is quite high. They typically retain their value. Exceptions are
when Apple changes major things like when they from Intel to ARM. But in general that older iPhone
will still get a good price on the resale market.
4. No screwing around with the OS or applications. Things just work.

Disadvantages:

1. Better buy it the way you want it and include future needs because upgrade-ability is
spotty.
2. Do it Apple's way or take the highway. Alternative solutions are out there but really
require jumping through hoops in some cases although this has been improving.
3. Value for the money. This one is tough as you simply can't compare MIPS, processor types
and so forth. It's more a matter of HOW does XYZ application run on a Mac compared to windows or
Linux. It's kinda complex and user experiences are the best source of information.
4. Cost. Debatable but still similar class Apple devices are more expensive than PC's.

Final advice:

My advice, for what that is worth and it ain't much, is to look carefully at your software
needs and pick the platform that has the best support for what you require.
All are excellent platforms, just different and targeted at different audiences.

Of course this is only scratching the surface, but it's a start.

The Synology OEM PCIe card is ~$110 retail.

Don't need it for desktop, as the Macs now build that in.

I've been wondering what 3rd party PCIe cards might work in the NAS, but 
haven't invested that much time in it, as saving just $60 on a non-OEM 
card might be a false economy if it breaks the OEM auto-updating 
firmware/software stuff, particularly since its only one of the costs: 
I want to provision a 10G switch, and since lot of $150 stuff that tends 
to have high failure rates, I'm leaning towards a $300 Ubiquiti.

Both the Synology's I bought have multiple 10G connectors
built-in.

But I was comparing oranges to oranges -- if one wants to upgrade
a Mac Studio, one has to block down ~$120 or so.

PC, it's less than $50.

That doesn't help those of us who already bought a Mac Studio.

Ah, that's right.  If I recall, you opted for an ~eight spindle NAS, 
whereas mine is just four in the DS923+

10Gbe Ethernet comes standard on the Mac Studio.  Maybe you're thinking 
of the mini?  Its a $100 option there to upgrade from 1Gbe to 10Gbe.

> PC, it's less than $50.

I believe you...I'm not presently in the Windows PCIe slot market at 
present; the one desktop that I currently have is IIRC running Vista and 
is probably too old to accommodate 10Gbe.

My 2022 M1 Max Studio came standard with 10Gbe, so I'd recommend 
checking to see what version Ethernet port your Studio has.

FWIW, I did check out the specs on the M4 based MBP and there is no 
Ethernet port ... just Thunderbolt 5's.  Looking quickly at 
TB-to-Ethernet adapters, looks like the market is still pricey for 
10Gbe, regardless of if one shops for Thunderbolt or just USB-C.

Well, I'll be dipped.  It does have 10Gbe.

I stand corrected!  (And happy that I didn't buy an interface for it!)

There is a lot of Cisco stuff on the second-hand market, still useful even 
though it might be a decade or more old and no longer officially 
supported. And the range of functionality is just breathtaking.

I have been learning about some of it lately, for a client. One switch I 
have here is running an OS called “Open IOS XE”, which uses a Linux kernel 
and even lets you write Python code to run on it.

The switch I bought that supports LACP is this thing:

   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CR5NBC3B

That's to replace the Netgear that I have, which supports link
aggregation, but only static (no LACP support).  Furthermore,
on a bonded connection, I can't talk to the management port
on the switch.

Will report on how well the QNAP works.  (It's a little pricer
than some alternatives, but it's not made in China.)
