    Apple's MacBook Pro will use a proprietary SSD, preventing Mac users from upgrading their storage solution themselves using standard parts. The SSD uses a unique mounting solution and a proprietary interface and it's an NVMe SSD which uses an Apple-designed SSD controller, the SSD is secured inside the system using some strong tape, making the SSD difficult to remove.

    • Most PCI-based SSDs never get upgraded from all the laptops I've seen.evilpeacock
    • Whether upgraded or simply replaced, back to the crap, proprietary have to buy directly from Apple BS.ETM
    • Any details on the read/write speeds of these SSDs? I'm glad my 2011 MBP is still in perfect shape. 1TB SSD with 500+ R/W speeds.mg33
