1TB Crucial X9 external 1TB SSD is like $70 these days if you need more basic storage. And if you need fast storage better to buy an internal SSD and TB 4 enclosure -- massively less expensive than Apple storage prices.
This is a great "bang for the buck" powerful machine for entry level. The "missing" 250GB of storage is not something I could get upset about at this price. It's hardly what I'd call a scandal. Now Apple only including 8GB in some base models for years up until now -- that was a scandal.
Damn that's a lot of RAM.
It's excellent marketing for Apple though, their products always have the most engagement in the comment section, and engagement is $$$$
Running time machine off a USBC-3.2 drive and data off a TB drive.
That 256GB is good enough if you don't use programs that take a lot of memory. But stuff like Lightroom (8GB), Creative Suite (16gb), Maya (8GB) can add up. While Mac upgrades tend to need around 40GB available for upgrade. My PS Remote Play gets choppy at times as well.

This is a great way to dip your toe into Mac for cheap.
Best computer I've ever owned. Paid $400/each for our M2s. I'm likely going to upgrade these to the M4, primarily to double the RAM to 16gb.

It also has upgradable RAM and NVME, but it comes with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB NVME.

Another thing to consider is that the Mini has no external power brick - its PSU is internal, so it only needs an AC cord, unlike the SER8. The Mini is also almost certainly the quieter of the two even at max load.
