It reaches such a point that it cannot be done at home by a user due to the fact that the storage is fully assembled to the motherboard, making it impossible to remove it by unscrewing a simple screw as if it happens in those Mac that are older. In the case of the most recent MacBooks that already include an SSD unit integrated inside the change process is really complicated.
While not all MacBook computers can make this change as easily as can be seen in some relevant exceptions. This makes it easy to locate where the storage unit is and make the change easily. The MacBook to have a reduced size in general, inside you can also observe a minimalism. That is why to ‘give a new life’ to the Mac you must always opt for an SSD drive since the change will be considerable in terms of fluidity. In addition to making noise, it is not very efficient either. Due to its technology, it offers a higher writing and reading speed of the stored data compared to HDD units, which, being mechanical, can present more problems in the short term by having a mechanical part that writes all the data. Right now they are much more accessible for all budgets and they are also the most recommended units. In older Apple computers, HDDs were used as standard due to the high price that SSDs could have. The big question that may be on the table is whether to choose an SSD or HDD.
In the case that it is a somewhat old Mac, you may not worry about the warranty but it is also advisable to have someone by your side who knows perfectly how to make the change. That is why whenever possible this type of replacement must be done in sites that are authorized by the company. The second is also having enough knowledge to do it safely and with the most appropriate products possible. This is undoubtedly a problem if it is still in force since a problem in the future cannot be covered. In the policy that Apple follows in this sense, any person who manipulates the Mac without being authorized by the company itself causes the product to lose the guarantee at the time. This is something that a priori is inadvisable for different factors. In order to save money, you have surely been able to consider making this change on your own at home. Although, it is also advisable to make a backup in these cases since if it is going to be manipulated there may be some problem that makes some files become corrupt and inaccessible. There is also the possibility to transfer the data from the main unit that you have removed via different adapters. You can make use of the functionality of Time Machine and an external storage unit that you can purchase. That is why you should always make a backup copy of the data to avoid losing it and being able to transfer it comfortably. When the computer starts up with the new drive, it will be completely blank even without an operating system. How is it logical to remove the storage unit all the files that you have stored will remain in it. That is why below we show you everything you should take into account. It cannot be done quickly without considering different points before making the change in order to avoid most of the possible problems. The fact of changing a part of the hardware of a Mac should always be well thought out and above all to prepare. The most comfortable thing can undoubtedly be to change the storage disk in order to have all the files, whether text or multimedia at hand. Obviously there is the option of uploading the storage or hiring different cloud services to store the information.
Now over time you have been able to realize that for different tasks you have a shortage of storage and this is where the change arises. This made a difference in price and you probably threw for the lowest amount in order to save some money.
When buying a Mac, you had to make a decision about how many GB of storage you wanted. In addition to fluidity, storage capacity also plays a role. The latter is the most important reason why storage units are changed in old devices since they end up giving them a new useful life as if it were new to continue using it normally. Having a faster drive allows the system to start up faster and run faster. All the files to run macOS are inside the main storage unit of the computers. Having a higher speed allows you to open documents or programs in a faster and more fluid way without forgetting the operating system. The first one is the need to have a better speed for writing and reading the stored data.
