In other words, a 1TB (960GB) SSD upgrade from 128GB offers an 15X increase in usable capacity, even though the SSDs are only 8X different in size.
With this very basic system, the actual usable capacity difference is 9.4X, not the 8X implied by the SSD capacity (120GB vs 960GB).īut for most users, a minimal system with various apps is likely to be closer to 60GB*, which makes the ratio (960-60)/(120-60) = 900/60 = 15X. That is, baseline storage requirements determine the actual increase in usable storage.Ĭonsider as shown at right a minimal system: fresh install, and the only extra app of Adobe Photoshop, with no user data at all. When considering an upgrade of the internal SSD, the right comparison is not the nominal SSD capacities, but rather the increase in usable storage. When considering an upgrade of the internal SSD, the right comparison is not the nominal total capacity of the SSDs, but rather the increase in usable storage, given baseline storage requirements. Usable capacity with minimal system: 120GB vs 960GB USABLE capacity increase is even better than it seems

New Possibilities - For the first time, upgrade the PCIe-based flash SSD in your mid-2013 or later MacBook Pro with Retina display or MacBook Air with up to eight times the original capacity. The difference is accounted for by over-provisioning, and may vary depending on the technology involved. * The 1TB offers 960GB of usable capacity, which is in line with industry practices: For example, Apple’s 512GB may be 500GB usable, 128GB may be 120GB usable, etc, depending on machine and model. Of course if that does occur and goes to 2TB, it becomes even more attractive. MPG wonders if a 4-lane device might arrive some time later, for higher performance needs in the MacBook Pro Retina. The Aura SSD is a 2-lane PCIe device with very solid performance (see tests that follows).

If going with the SSD-only option, these two tools are needed, or the NewerTech 14-Piece Portable Toolkit is handy in general (and includes those two tools). MPG recommends the upgrade which includes the Envoy Pro case option (see discussion at end), which includes all tools.
