Upgrading Your MacBook Pro's SSD: A Step-by-Step Guide for Late 2012-Mid 2015 Models

It's likely that you will not need this, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There is a chance that some issues with Mac's recovery mode will prevent you from installing macOS through it.

Before attempting the upgrade, make sure you have the necessary tools and materials:

* A flash drive with more than 10GB of space for the installer of the latest version of macOS. If you tend to use iCloud for your Time Machine backup then ignore this.

* An external hard drive that has more space than your laptop's current SSD for a Time Machine backup.

* You will need an Apple's SSD adapter that matches the pin on your SSD drive and the pin on your Mac's SSD slot. Most users usually upgrade their SSD to 1TB of storage, but the same company's 2TB SSD should work too.

For compatibility reasons, you'll need a compatible SSD: Any NVMe SSD should work well, but for 2012 and early-2013 MacBook Pro models, you'll need an mSATA SSD such as the Crucial MX500 1 TB. You can also get a Tekton screwdrivers kit that includes both of them.

Additionally, you'll require a Pentalobe T5 (1.2 mm) Screwdriver (5-point star) and a Torx T5 Screwdriver (6-point star).

In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to upgrade your MacBook Pro's SSD. With the price of SSDs having dropped down drastically, upgrading your laptop's storage is now more feasible than ever.

The MacBook Pro models from late-2013 to mid-2015 are often configured with 256GB or 512GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage by default. However, this amount of storage will be running out quickly if you have done a lot of heavy-demand works like photo editing or video. Therefore, an upgrade in SSD is surely necessary.

Stay tuned for the step-by-step guide on how to upgrade your MacBook Pro's SSD and breathe new life into your laptop!
