Macbook Pro 13 Retina early 2013 Hard Drive upgrade

[Simon Atkinson]

Hi All,

I’m trying the increase the hard drive size on my macbook but I want to buy the correct drive.

I spoke to Crucial and they say they don’t sell them and the would advise buying from Apple, surely they are sold somewhere more reasonable ?

Thanks for any pointers

Regards

Simon

JetDrive Transcend is a good bet from Amazon. They now make the PCIe model which is compatible with the 2013+ MacBook Pro

Thanks Sam and Steve for your replies, 

What i’m struggling to get my head around is Jetdrive on Amazon is the best part of £200 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-TS480GJDM850-Jetdrive-850-Internal/dp/B07DCKLWQN/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=JetDrive+Transcend&qid=1564141443&s=gateway&sr=8-6

Yet what looks like the same drive from Crucial is £70 

https://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/ct500p1ssd8?gclid=CjwKCAjw4NrpBRBsEiwAUcLcDJ-sI6OakUrLjC8r1bmJZPIv-Ky0oi8FW92_buWcMGRWZ64ARw_omxoC1sUQAvD_BwE&cm_mmc=shopping-_-lengow-_-null-_-uk&ev_chn=shop&ef_id=CjwKCAjw4NrpBRBsEiwAUcLcDJ-sI6OakUrLjC8r1bmJZPIv-Ky0oi8FW92_buWcMGRWZ64ARw_omxoC1sUQAvD_BwE:G:s

Yet the Crucial site says it’s not compatible with Apple? What am i missing?

Simon

Different connectors, very different technology for communicating with the drive. I think you can get an adapter but I would always go with a product built for that model of Mac
