Apple PULLED THIS CONFIGURATION DUE TO WORLDWIDE RAM SHORTAGE
Apple pulled the 512GB option from the Mac Studio configurator in March 2026, citing DRAM supply constraints. Tom's Hardware reported that even Apple couldn't get the chips. There is simply no way to source 512GB RAM for the forseeable future.
The next Mac Studio has slipped to October 2026
Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter for Bloomberg (April 19, 2026) reports the next Mac Studio pushed from summer to October 2026 at the earliest, held up by the same memory shortage.
128GB and 256GB configurations are no longer available either
As of April 11, 2026, Mac Studio configurations with 128GB and 256GB of memory were pulled from Apple's US online store and marked "currently unavailable" — no delivery estimate, no way to order. Only the 96GB base M3 Ultra and smaller M4 Max configurations are left. Mid-tier Mac minis are quoting 16–18 week waits. Desktop supply with high RAM configurations has completely dried up.
Day-one orders arrive in 2027
Even if October ships on time (Bloomberg's headline uses the word "may"), Apple's top-memory configurations typically have 8–12 week waits at launch. That puts a day-one order's realistic delivery around late 2026 to Q1 2027. Apple hasn't confirmed 512GB comes back at all. The announced M5 Max tops out at 128GB.
Timeline
| Now | This unit. Sealed, ready to ship. |
| June '26 | WWDC — no Mac Studio announcement (per Bloomberg's April 19 reporting). |
| Oct '26 | Earliest possible M5 Mac Studio. 512GB SKU unconfirmed. |
| Late '26 — '27 | Delivery window after launch-day waitlists. |
| Unknown | Whether Apple offers 512GB again. M5 Max is confirmed at 128GB max. |

A Note on Scams
Some of the other listings for this unit on eBay are scams. Before buying from anyone, check for these warning signs:
— Classified-format listings bypass eBay's buyer protection entirely. Any legitimate seller will use Buy It Now or an auction with the Money Back Guarantee.
— Minimal feedback history. A brand new account listing expensive hardware is a big red flag.
— Sellers outside the US. Cross-border shipments of expensive electronics mean customs risk, long delays, and very little recourse if something goes wrong.
— Prices well below the going rate. If a sealed 512GB unit looks cheap, it isn't real.
— Minimal feedback history. A brand new account listing expensive hardware is a big red flag.
— Sellers outside the US. Cross-border shipments of expensive electronics mean customs risk, long delays, and very little recourse if something goes wrong.
— Prices well below the going rate. If a sealed 512GB unit looks cheap, it isn't real.
— This listing is a standard Buy It Now with full eBay buyer protection. US-based seller in Honolulu, eBay member since 2002, 100% positive feedback, with prior sales of this exact unit visible on my profile.
What 512GB Holds
Memory Available vs. What Fits
■ model ■ second model ■ free
RTX 5090 — 32GB VRAM
MiniMax M2.7 at 4-bit ~115GB · ~397GB free
DeepSeek V4 Flash, native precision ~156GB · 356GB free for 1M context
Qwen3.5-397B at 4-bit ~241GB · 271GB free
GLM-5.1 (754B) at 4-bit ~377GB · only 512GB can hold it
Qwen3.5-397B at 8-bit (FP8) ~400GB · near-lossless fidelity
Qwen3.5-397B + MiniMax M2.7 (both 4-bit) ~356GB · two models, simultaneously
Whatever memory isn't holding weights goes to the context window — or a second model, so you can route tasks between them without reloading.
The Models
The Memory Market
Apple built this unit using DRAM it had contracted for back in 2024 and early 2025. That same memory can't be sourced at the same price today.
DRAM contract prices
TrendForce has Q1 2026 DRAM contract prices up 90–95% quarter-over-quarter — the biggest jump on record. Samsung raised contract prices 30–60% between September and November 2025. NAND is up 55–60% over the same stretch.
Supply is going to AI datacenters
IDC projects 70% of 2026 memory production goes to AI datacenters. Micron shut down its consumer Crucial brand to focus on HBM. The WSJ reports Apple execs on extended hotel stays in Seoul negotiating long-term DRAM contracts. IDC calls this a "permanent strategic reallocation" of global silicon.
Shortage expected through 2027–2028
SK Hynix's CEO puts the shortage through late 2027. TeamGroup's GM expects serious relief only in 2028, when new fab capacity comes online. The SK Group chairman said it could last until 2030. Even if Apple wanted to build more 512GB units, the DRAM isn't available at the prices Apple paid for this one.
The Upgrade Path
The Mac Studio has five Thunderbolt 5 ports, and macOS 26.2 added RDMA over Thunderbolt — which lets clustered Macs address each other's memory with under 50μs of latency. With EXO 1.0, two Studios together work as a single 1TB pool of unified memory. Four of them, 2TB. That's enough to run trillion-parameter models like DeepSeek V4 Pro (1.6T parameters, ~880GB) or Kimi K2.6 (1T parameters) locally, on hardware that lives on a desk.
Published Benchmarks
— Four 512GB Mac Studios running Kimi K2 Thinking (1T params) at ~30 tok/s
— Four-node cluster running DeepSeek V3.1 at 8-bit: 32.5 tok/s
— RDMA over Thunderbolt dropped network latency from 300μs to under 50μs — roughly 5× speedup on Kimi K2 vs TCP
— Four-node cluster running DeepSeek V3.1 at 8-bit: 32.5 tok/s
— RDMA over Thunderbolt dropped network latency from 300μs to under 50μs — roughly 5× speedup on Kimi K2 vs TCP
Benchmarks from Jeff Geerling's December 2025 cluster tests on Apple-loaned hardware.
Why This Machine
Open-weight models keep outgrowing consumer hardware. DeepSeek V4 Flash at native precision needs 156GB plus room for its 1M-token context. GLM-5.1 at 4-bit needs 377GB. Kimi K2.6 at native INT4 needs 550GB. Qwen3.5-397B at 8-bit needs 400GB. Very few machines outside a datacenter can hold any of these, and 512GB unified memory is one of them.
Apple stopped selling the 512GB configuration in March. Bloomberg reports the next Mac Studio has slipped to October, and Apple hasn't said whether 512GB will return at all. The models keep getting bigger. The hardware isn't keeping pace.
Apple doesn't publish unit-level sales numbers, but the 512GB option was the top SKU of an already niche machine and was only on sale for twelve months. Estimates put worldwide production under 10,000 units. This is one of the last still sealed in its box.
