Hi folks



MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019), 2.3Ghz


Can I upgrade the 512GB internal SSD by (myself) other one (2TB)? If yes what kind of SSD is it?

Question marked as Apple recommended

Apple SSDs have been proprietary with the exception of certain models. To find which ones visit OWC. Otherwise, they are soldered flash memory on the motherboard. Furthermore, even were the SSD replaceable, if you replaced it, then you would void all service on the computer by Apple, including warranty service. It is advisable that you not open the computer for any reason other than to replace user-upgradeable components. Typically, that means replacing memory modules in models that use memory slots. Current models like yours do not have slots. Apple does not want the user tinkering with the computer's innards. If you like tinkering with the innards, then you bought the wrong computer.

You should address your concerns with Apple using the feedback mechanism. We are all other users here and do not work for Apple, so we have no input into their design and manufacturing process. They have now soldered most parts into their laptops for some time.

Here is a page showing what/how items can be upgraded for different models and it stops with the 2015 models:

The model you have is "new." What you are able to do in a 2015 model is quite different from the 2019 model.


So the harddrive size is given in most cases and not 2TB or more.
If a computer has to be portable, then it should not brag about external things.


I'm unsure what the point of the above is. Thirty years ago a portable computer was the size of a sewing machine and nearly as heavy. And, to the best of my knowledge, computers cannot brag. Only their owners can.
