Pros for the Aura Pro: it's available as the ONLY option.Ĭons: Price, a weird device that the system doesn't handle too well (check the tech specs), ONLY works inside the Mac, cannot be used on an external enclosure (their Envoy Pro enclosure only works with the original Apple 'chiclet'), the Aura Pro ONLY works with APFS, meaning High Sierra and successors. Alas, since all these models are now discontinued and the newer ones are a sealed one-piece unupgradeable unit, the potential marketplace for third-party providers is shrinking and there's no incentive anymore. Since you are already at High Sierra and the storage formatted at APFS, you can opt for their 2TB Aura Pro option, and that is the absolute ceiling for those devices unless somebody comes up with something bigger. As posted by Allan Other World Computing offers the only alternative to upgrading the internal 'chiclet' that serves as a drive. Yours belongs to the family of the last upgradeable MBPs. Will I be able to simply reinstall OS and data from my last time machine backup (on an external drobo nas) to the new HD? Thanks in advance! Do I/Should I/Can I upgrade the memory to aid the larger HD? Any advice is appreciated. Have read that upgrading ssd in late 2013 is much more complex than previous years?

Go to step 1 What you need Parts OWC Aura Pro 6G SSD 64.

Most new SSDs require updated storage drivers not found in versions of macOS prior to High Sierra. Currently 1 TB and FULL! Would like to max the HD to 4TB if possible (based on my specs) Contacted apple support but they could not tell me how high I could go (2TB, 3TB, 4?). Finally, we strongly recommend installing macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or a later macOS) before replacing the original SSD from your MacBook Pro.
