Upgrade Macbook Pro's SSD

If it’s a recent MacBook Pro then no, the SSD is soldered to the logic board and cannot be upgraded.

Yes, I realized that when I went to the eshop link I gave above. While the SSD in the MacBook Pro non-retina of the same (late2015) model can be upgraded the retina model cannot. That is what confused me and gave me false hope for my MacBook. Clearly in this case knowing and making decisions based on the Model ID and not the year of production is critical.

Specifically, if its model is 2016 or newer, no.

You are referencing old instructions for older model computers. The older model computer RAM and drive can be upgraded. Newer models, as said in previous responses, can not be upgraded/changed.

Apparently, the 11,4 Model ID (retina) SSD is soled in.

Apparently the answer is YES. Upgrade-the-hard-drive-on-a-MacBook-Pro-HDD-SSD

Poxa quando eu comprei meu MacBookPro 2018, ninguém me falou que a Apple estava soldando os SSDs na placa mãe e não seria possível nenhuma atualização, a gente paga tao caro por um produto Apple, (MacBook), e depois descobre que comprou um MacBook, com um SSD menor que o de certos celulares por ai, e o pior NAO DA PARA ATUALIZAR!!!, isso significa então que se eu quiser atualizar vou ter que vender e comprar outro!!! ou jogar no lixo e comprar outro!!!, nenhuma outra fabrica de Notebooks fez isto somente a Apple. Acho que isto foi uma falta de consideração e respeito com seus consumidores. **** ai meu desabafo, não pretendo comprar nenhum produto da Apple novamente, e não recomendo a ninguém

Apparently you did not read the above responses.

This looks even easier to follow: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/

You could use something like small, light, Bus powered external drive:

approximately actual size by 1/4 in thick.

Captive 6-in USB-3 cable with tiny USB-C adapter.
