Hi, I’m planning on buying a 13" Macbook Pro early 2015 model with 256 GB storage. I want to check, is it possible to upgrade the storage later. I might want to upgrade to 1 TB to run VMs. Regard -Dino
Well I have good news and bad news here: First the good news - Apple’s custom SSD blade drive is a replaceable unit so its possible to swap-out.The bad news here is its too soon to say when 3rd party replacements will hit the market as this system is just too new.The other bit of bad news is largest SSD so far available is still very expensive and only 920GB in size. I would recommend you follow this site: Transcend they appear to be aggressive on offering options for Air & Retina systems. I end with a bit of good news here: Intel and Micron’s 3D NAND promises SSDs “greater than 10TB” so in a few years we should start seeing lower cost SSD blades and larger ones as well. Update (03/12/2016) Good News! OWC has just released their SSD’s for the Retina systems! Here’s the details: MacBook Pro with Retina 13" & 15" Late 2013 - Current
I found the TarDisk, when I was searching the web on how to expand my macbook storage. I ordered it and it came last week and has been working perfectly! It doubled my MacBooks onboard storage. Check it out!
Yes, you can. See theses links below : (if you are rich) Aura 1TB Upgrade Kit (649$) 9toMac How to Video OWC Digital How to Video
OK I just finished placing 1 Tera SSD in Mac Pro Retina 13 (early 2015) and it took me about 10 minutes. The cost are: $13 for adaptor + $105 for SSD (1 Tera). According to stats it is faster in the Writing side now. If you want details, let me know.
Where can I find the SSD for my MacBook Pro? Currently it has 256 GB and I need more space!
I currently have 8 GB RAM & 128 GB SSD in my MacBook Pro 2015, and I want to upgrade to 16 GB RAM & 1 TB SSD. As far as I know, I can do that change, but I don’t know what RAM & SSD I must buy. Can help me with this?
I found a 1TB SSD for the 2015 MacBook Pros, as well as the Mac Pro… But it’s $1300 :/ http://store.mcetech.com/mm/merchant.mvc…
What can be done with the old SSD? I know there is only 1 external case for it from OCW that is pricey! But, could it be mount into a Desktop PC motherboard? Is it standard?
Hi there, I’m hoping to upgrade my 13” Macbook pro with a 2TB OWC Aura SSD. Other than the actually replacement of the piece (I’ve watched a few videos, if anyone has extra pointers, that would be great too!), is there anything that needs to be adjusted, upgraded or anything in order for the system to be compatible with the storage? What are the risks to the system/computer if the SSD is upgraded with a non-Apple certified SSD? Any help is great! Thanks!
