Since you are already at High Sierra and the storage formatted at APFS, you can opt for their 2TB Aura Pro option, and that is the absolute ceiling for those devices unless somebody comes up with something bigger. As posted by Allan Other World Computing offers the only alternative to upgrading the internal 'chiclet' that serves as a drive. Yours belongs to the family of the last upgradeable MBPs. Will I be able to simply reinstall OS and data from my last time machine backup (on an external drobo nas) to the new HD? Thanks in advance!

Do I/Should I/Can I upgrade the memory to aid the larger HD? Any advice is appreciated.

Have read that upgrading ssd in late 2013 is much more complex than previous years? Does anyone have experience with this? Would also like recommendations on the type of SSD to buy.Link would be great.

Lots of info online and some of it conflicting. Currently 1 TB and FULL! Would like to max the HD to 4TB if possible (based on my specs) Contacted apple support but they could not tell me how high I could go (2TB, 3TB, 4?). That's enough to keep it our pick of Apple's MacBook range, and while the everyman OS X user would likely be satisfied by the MacBook Air, the combination of flexibility, power, and battery life makes the 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display our top choice for demanding mobile professionals.Need to upgrade the SSD in my late 2013 Macbook Pro.
#Macbook pro late 2013 15 inch portable#
The 15-inch Pro may not quite be as portable as its 13-inch brethren, but it's still sufficiently slim and light to drop into a bag and carry day to day, and the upshot is a machine that's as at home whiling away the hours on an intercontinental flight with you as it is storming through media processing and gaming. What you sacrifice in battery life compared to the Air, you make up for in raw processing grunt and that glorious display. This 2013 upgrade to the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display refines Apple's powerhouse even more, however. The Air is still the mobility machine, perfectly poised to balance the processing demands of the average traveler with the sort of battery life they need. Now the Pro has had its own shot at Haswell, and if anything the waters are all the more muddied. Instead, Apple has decided that Intel's Iris Pro integrated graphics, part of Haswell, are sufficient for most purposes, not to mention coming with a useful reduction in power consumption. Whereas the old MacBook Pro with Retina display had NVIDIA discrete graphics across the board, now only the higher-spec version gets a standalone GPU. The most interesting change for this generation is in graphics. Storage starts at 256GB of flash on the entry-level 15-inch machine (with 512GB or 1TB optional) while the more expensive version gets 512GB as standard and 1TB as an option. The $1,999 entry-level model has a 2.0GHz quadcore, paired with 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L memory (up to 16GB supported), while $2,599 gets you a 2.3GHz quadcore and 16GB of memory. For 2013 that means Intel's 4th-gen Haswell processors, with the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina getting Core i7 CPUs as standard (the 13-inch picks from the Core i5 range). If the exterior changes are minor, then it's under the hood that things have been mixed up.
