Upgrading 2014 Macbook Pro hard drive

[N2bnfunn]

Hello I wanted to know has anyone ran across a third party hard drive that will work with the 2014 MacBookPro11,2 looking to put in a bigger hard drive.


Other World computing only has the hard drive upgrades up to early 2013, nothing higher then that.

No one currently sells the PCIe SSD that are in the late 2013 and mid 2014 Macbook Pros. The only option I know of at this point is to buy a used drive off of eBay that was harvested from another 2013/2104 MacBook Pro.

There aren't any aftermarket drives that actually fit into the 2014 rMBP.

No, there is no aftermarket drives available for the late-2013/mid-2014 rMBPs.

Apple uses a proprietary non-M.2 PCIe blade SSD.

And besides, the Apple drives are plenty fast anyway. I easily get 720MB/s write and 750MB/s read on my 512GB SSD in my late-2013 13" rMBP.

$800 on eBay gets you a brand new 1TB PCIe SSD I believe made by Samsung. Supposedly they are the exact units used by Apple and claim not to be used pulls from other systems.

If I could sell my 512GB PCIe for about half the price of the 1TB, I would net a 1TB for about $400 and still come in under the Apple $500 upgrade to 1TB price.

Yeah I see what you mean on ebay item number=item33939085fc but 800 bucks to upgrade from 256 to 1 TB ... I wonder how much I could get for my 256 SSD drive?

Probably $200 or so. There is always someone looking for parts as liquid spills and damage happens. Check out some listings on eBay and get a feel for the market.
