Upgrade SSD in Macbook Pro Mid 2014?

I would like to upgrade my SSD (currently 512GB) to something bigger in my Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014.

I did a bit of research and got a bit confused.

According to iFixit it should be possible.

But I am at a loss exactly which kind and brand of SSD I need to buy.

Could someone please point me to the correct one?

(Preferably one that I can buy in Europe, maybe even Germany.)

Best regards,

Gabriel.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), iPhone 6S, always latest iOS

This is an option for a 2014 MBP:

Samsung has a 1 TB PCIe SSD available as well. You might do a search for it.

Ciao.

Addendum: If you have Apple care, installing a new SSD will void it.

When I replied to you, I did not look at the title. Yours is a 2014 MBP and uses PCIe SSDs. My error for the confusion.

I edited my response here which now is correct.

Ciao.
