About This Service
Running out of storage space on your MacBook? Our SSD upgrade service can dramatically increase your storage capacity and often improve your MacBook speed at the same time. For MacBook models with replaceable storage (generally 2012-2017 models), we can upgrade to larger, faster NVMe SSDs with capacities up to 2TB. We migrate all your data, applications, and settings to the new drive, so you can pick up right where you left off with much more space available. Note that MacBooks from 2018 onwards have soldered storage that cannot be upgraded.
Storage upgrades are only possible on MacBook models with removable SSD modules. MacBook Pro (2016 and later) and MacBook Air (2018 and later) have soldered storage that cannot be upgraded. If your MacBook has soldered storage, consider using external storage solutions, cloud storage, or optimising your existing storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my MacBook storage be upgraded?
MacBooks from 2012-2017 generally have upgradeable storage. MacBooks from 2018 onwards (including all Apple Silicon Macs) have soldered storage that cannot be upgraded. Contact us with your model to confirm.
Will I lose my data during a storage upgrade?
No, we migrate all your data to the new drive. Your files, applications, settings, and even desktop layout will be exactly as you left them, just with more space available.
How much faster will my MacBook be after an SSD upgrade?
If upgrading from an older SSD or HDD, you may see significant speed improvements. NVMe SSDs are much faster than older SATA drives, reducing boot times and application loading.
How long does a storage upgrade take?
Storage upgrades typically take 1-2 working days including data migration and verification.
