    The only upgrade that can be made on a 2014 MBP is the SSD storage module.  Check iFixit.com for availability and pricing plus instructions.  It will be expensive.

    WHAT ABOUT MACBOOK PRO LATE 2013 EDITION

    It will be the same.  Early 2013 and older MBP (without the PCIe SSDs) SSDs have storage options available from OWC and Transcend.

     

    To date I have not seen any other source for PCIe SSDs from a third party source.

    please specify whether unibody or retina.
    if it's a retina, the only thing you can do to get better performances is to wait for the El Capitan and hope the API to give it a new breath of life.

    All 2013 and 2014 MBPs are retina models.

    Not true.  The SSD storage drives can be changed if the parts are in stock at iFixit.com for the late 2013 and newer MBPs.  If you do the proper research, you will find that this is the case.
