Upgrading Your 2014 MacBook Pro SSD: A Guide to Expectations

If you're considering upgrading the storage of your 2014 MacBook Pro, you may be wondering when this feature will become available. Unfortunately, the initial release date for the SSD upgrade was delayed due to some technical issues with the PCIe connection certification. However, we're happy to provide you with an update on the current status.

The new 13' MacBook Pro, released in late 2016, features a significant upgrade from its predecessor. One of the notable changes is the addition of an NVMe driver and an Apple-designed controller for the SSD. This means that users can expect faster read and write speeds compared to traditional hard drives.

In our teardown of the new 13' MacBook Pro, we noticed some interesting design choices. For instance, the laptop's keyboard features keys with a slightly greater throw than those found on the previous generation. Additionally, the speaker module requires removal before you can access the SSD.

Another notable feature is the laptop's automatic power-on functionality. When you open the lid or plug it in while the lid is still open, the MacBook Pro will turn on regardless of whether you press the power button. According to Apple, this is a new design feature meant to enhance user convenience.

If you're planning to upgrade your storage, be prepared for some additional work. The SSD had strong tape covering its interface port, which requires removal before you can access it. Additionally, the bottom panel was slightly more difficult to remove than on previous generations, but it wasn't glued in place.

In conclusion, while the initial release date for the SSD upgrade may have been delayed, the new 13' MacBook Pro offers some exciting features that are sure to enhance your user experience.
