Late-2013 Macbook Pro SSD

[1970mgbgt]

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I have the above machine, and am looking to upgrade its SSD (128GB). I happen to have a Crucial 1T MX200 2.5 inch 7mm SATA 6Gb/s drive that I was going to put in an older desktop Mac.

Can this Crucial drive be put in my late-2013 Macbook Pro Retina machine, or will it only take the stick type modules?

Many thanks,
MG

This isn't compatible with your MacBook Pro.

Thanks. I had sort of thought this, but wanted to be sure.

If you were going to upgrade the internal SSD drive to, say, 512GB or 1T, what would you use?

A 2.5-inch SSD can't work. There's no physical space to install one.
The SSD is similar to an M.2 card (but with a proprietary slot connector), so you have to do your homework, and make sure it is compatible with your rMBPro.

You will need one like this -https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/OWC-Aura-Pro-X-SSD/IF123-123-3

I'm not sure what I'd use. Other World Computing (macsales.com) has options but I've had a 100% failure rate on 4 of their earlier disks so I can't recommend them. I'm sure others will offer suggestions.
