Chosen Solution
I have a fairly new Mac Book Pro with a 250 GB Drive. Is it possible (and not too much trouble) I would like to replace the drive with a higher capacity drive.
I would get a Samsung T5 external SSD it offers USB-C connectivity,
Hey Michael What a great MacBook you have! The SSD or the Flash Storage that is in the MacBook is definitely upgradeable. However, note that the SSD inside is not a traditional looking drive, instead it is a chip that looks very similar to RAM. These parts are available even at Best Buy which you should be able to get fairly easy. You will need to backup the MacBook to an external drive to get the data from the old drive. Once you install the new one you can restore your data through the Cloud Recovery by pressing “Command” and “R” key before hitting the power button. Although it’s sad to say that the RAM that has been built into the newer Mac’s starting from 2011+ are now soldered to the Logic Board like the CPU’s are. You could definitely upgrade the RAM and the CPU together, but you would then be paying a lot because you would need to buy a new Logic Board to do so. Good Luck!
