Is anyone else wondering about that 8TB SSD bit? Unless they have four M.2 slots which I doubt they must use 4TB SSDs and that'd be QLC which sucks.

They don’t do slots. They’ll be soldered onto the board directly, straight into the T2 chip via PCI-E.

Doesnt speak to the quality of the NAND, probably 3D/QLC though. For density.

Yeah, I forgot, of course. In that case, who knows, there are 22110 enterprise 4TB SSDs using MLC even -- maybe they have enough space on the board for MLC or TLC. We will know when iFixit tears one down :)
