hallux macrumors 68040 Mar 12, 2015 #2 Any 2.5" SSD should work. As long as you have a #00 Philips, a #0 and a T5 or T6 Torx (I don't recall which) you should be fine, no "kit" needed. It's also VERY possible the SSD is fine but the cable connecting it to the system has failed.

You need a T00 Philips and Torx T6 screwdriver, no special kit needed. $600 to replace a SSD which is worth about $60 is a hell of a profit margin.
