What followed was some late nights gathering answers to the following questions Talk of an adapter that can be used with the super-speedy NVMe SSD drives suddenly catch my eye. I believe OWC sold some upgrade kits, but they were outside of my budget.įast-forward to earlier this year, and my search results change. Occasional searches every 6 months or so revealed that whilst the SSD is removable (and about the only thing that is on that machine!), any upgrades were hugely pricey due to a proprietary connection used by Apple. Whilst at home, I also have a USB dock connected which has a couple of external hard-drives connected, but again, suffer with being slow. This doubles my usable space, but is a second-class citizen of course, as it’s inherently slow. With only 128GB of disk space, I quickly added a Transcend JetDrive Lite to the machine, which sits flush in the SD card slot on the right-hand side. Entry-level 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM it is then! As it turns out, they were just drop-shipping the standard builds, which meant any customisation (upgrading the RAM etc.) was out of the question.
For those of us in the UK, it is managed by the same company that also do the Cycle To Work Scheme vouchers etc.Īt the time, I had a capable but old MacBook Pro (2011 I believe), so the temptation of an upgrade was too great, and I jumped at the opportunity for a shiny new retina MacBook Pro (Early 2015). So i personally recommend you, if your really not cool with the storage of it, sell the entire machine to someone that feels ok, add some money and buy a 512GB one.It’s early 2016, and my employer comes up with a scheme that can help us purchase a laptop and spread the cost over 12 months. Turn into a external usb drive, sounds ideal but currently i do not see anything can do that with the PCIE connector on it. its EXPENSIVE.Įven you did it, what are you going to do with the one that you took outta your laptop? Sell it, it not that much since it do count as used. If you go to eBay, or somewhere else and look up the price, i believe your going to know what i mean. The drive inside of your machine is a PCIE SSD which is made for Apple, **** fast but unlikely to find a third-party replacement. in warranty, and replacing the SSD will most likely to void that since Apple do not provide capacity upgrade for this model according to their site, so you have to do it on your own, and they don't seems like seeing people taking apart the device XD.Īnd, it's expensive. Since your computer is a 2015 ver., it's def. It is doable, but is NOT recommended by me personally.
