"Lowest price" that's still a ridiculous premium. A 2TB internal 2230 SSD is like <100$
As long as your internal drive hasn't yet failed, you can clone the stupid hidden partition easily enough and it'll work, upgrade for half (or more) the cost of this proprietary BS
Cloning it is the easy part, getting to it to remove it is a 40 step process:

Meh, those guides always make it seem more daunting than it is, once you actually start it'll probably take you 20-30 minutes if you're even moderately good with your hands and another 30 to put it back together again. Less than 30 minutes roundtrip if you're decent at disassembling/reassembling things
It's absolutely worth an hour of time to save $100 AND not be a party to rewarding ever more proprietary bullshit.
You're absolutely right...just but the proper tool set and give yourself room to work and you're good.
Edit: OH Shit an IFIX link, not only are you good to go it's going to be thorough too.
