[QUOTE="Algus, post: 1624760, member: 319021"] It is technically possible to replace the SSD in the new retina Macbook Pros. [URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Retina+Display+Mid+2014+SSD+Replacement/27849"]Here is a guide[/URL] on the subject. The issue is that Apple is the supplier of these drives and they do not sell them separately. If you were able to find a larger capacity drive from a third party seller (who had presumably pulled it from another MBP) then you might be able to provide yourself with an upgrade that way. Good news is that Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 provide pretty fast data transfer speeds so using an external drive can get you results that are almost as good as having everything plugged in internally.
