![]() OWC sells an external enclosure for the original Apple SSD you remove from your laptop. ![]() Last year people using third party SSDs (including OWC) were unable to upgrade macOS due to firmware issues and the only fix at the time was to install HS or Mojave to an original Apple SSD first so the system firmware was updated. First, close the lid and flip the system over so the bottom panel is facing up. Those are also the only third party SSDs with any official support behind them when used with a Mac. Now, it's time to disconnect the system's power adapter. You do have to be careful as one of the Aura SSDs requires OSX 10.13+ High Sierra to be used or the SSD won't be recognized. ![]() The only option for an internal third party SSD without the use of an adapter is the OWC Aura SSDs which mentions. You will need to do more thorough research before choosing this option. You will have to pay the difference in price plus sales tax. In this case you can exchange the computer for the model with the larger SSD, if its in stock. I do know that some Samsung SSDs are not compatible with a Mac, but I don't know which ones. MacBook Pro SSD upgrade costs 330-700, MacBook Air SSD upgrade costs 350-550 depending on the SSD drive capacity and MacBook model. The SSDs cannot be upgraded post purchase unless you are within the first 14 days after the date of purchase. I know some people on these forums have used a Sintech adapter to use a standard M.2 SSD, but I believe you have to be careful which one you get.
