Upgrade SSD

[teejaysyke]

Can you upgrade the SSD yourself in the 2015 refresh of the 13" MBP, or do you have to buy it flat out with the hard drive you want...?

The SSD is removable, but there are no 3rd party replacements available.

Okay, so I have to buy the model I want with all the upgrades because 128GB is not enough for me

That's what I had to do. I wanted the 512GB SSD, so I needed to pay for the upgraded CPU. It really didn't matter because I ended up selecting 16GB of RAM and the i7 processor anyway.

I just posted my experience. I bought a genuine Samsung SSD for my late 2013 rMBP on eBay from Korea.

5 minutes to replace, booted to the welcome screen and no issues after a month of use.
