    I have two setup on my network. Hosting videos. (each NAS is filled with 6 x 4TB WD Red)

    I started with one and was blown away by the ease of setup and the performance. Decided to pick up another and upgrade my existing NASes.

    I was using Two Drobo 5Ns and a Netgear readyNAS.
    One of the 5Ns failed, which moved me to the first of the two DS-1618+.

    My vote is for full allowance to repair and to get all the part needed from Apple, with the following requirements…

    If 3rd party parts are used, they are not covered.
    If the part used causes other components to fail, they are not covered.
    If the repair was completed in such a way that further safe repair is not possible, repair will be refused (adhesive that cannot be removed on a battery, etc).
    If the non Apple/AASP repair was completed and other damage occurred during the repair, it is not covered.

    There are many other correct requirements that I can think of…. but what it boils down too is this. If Apple does the repair, they can stand behind the repair and the device they repaired. The moment that you allow another person to go poking around inside the device, then the proper functioning of the device is no longer Apple's responsibility.

    The issue that I see it is the HUGE number of people that would go to a 3rd party for repair… that 3rd party messes something up… The customer sees a new issue…. The customer thinks that Apple is responsible to fix it.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is no justifiable reason Apple can give for charging $600 on a 32gb memory upgrade and nearly $1000 for a 64gb upgrade. That's just out of control. The Mac Mini $1000 base but goes up to $1600 for maxed out memory...a 60% increase in cost when for it could be done under for under $200 by a 3rd party.
    And if you upgrade the ram in the MacMini, yourself, the coverage from Apple does not change! They will not deny a repair or charge for it, unless you damaged something when you took it apart.

    This article is about the repair of iOS devices, not Macs.

    Ohhhh and look at that, upgrading the DDR4 ram in an HP desktop IS MORE than upgrading it on a MacMini.
