Upgrade nMP late 2013 SSD to 1Tb.

Any one know the part number for the 1TB SSD in the new Mac Pro (late 2013)? There are some available with a part number of MZ-KPU1T0T/0A2 made by Samsung. They are represented to work in both the nMP as well as late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina.

Be sure you don't get stuck, that sounds a little dicey. We have not seen product announcements, but these parts are expected this year.

SSD Upgrade on Late 2013 MBP Retina

I would like to upgrade my SSD on my macbook pro retina late 2013 model it has 512 in it currently and I want to goto 1TB I know its $500 I am willing to pay the difference but apple is saying its is soldered on the logic board. Which clearly is not true. I got my laptop at bestbuy because my old one broke and bestbuy replaced it with a newer model. I would of gotten it from apple but I had to get it from BestBuy since they replaced it.

Thanks for your reply. I may not have been clear enough in my post; OWCs SSDs will NOT work in the late 2013 MacBook Pros (they've clarified their website product description to make that abundantly clear); the newest MacBook Pros use PCIe controllers, both for the SSD interface and for the SDXC slot; the 2012 and early 2013 MacBook Pros use SATA; the two are NOT interchangeable, and OWC doesn't make ANY SSD cards that will work in the newest MacBook Pros (yet).
Of course, that's not relevant for the OP, who has a late 2013 MacBook Pro and wants a bigger SSD. My reply to "helpme05" was intended to suggest to him that there may BE such a product from OWC in the future, because iFixIt's teardown of the newest MacBook Pros shows that the SSD still plugs into a (mecahnically and logically different from that on the 2012 and early 2013 machines) motherboard socket.
Your response DID clear up my misunderstanding of why OWC's SSD maxes out at 480 GB; they're using the more conservative estimate of size (base 2 vs base 10), contrasting with Apple's measurement rubric. So, OWC's 480 GB is the same size as OWC's 512 GB unit.
I'm sure you've heard the joke: "There are 10 kinds of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don't."
Thanks again,

Macbook pro retina late 2013 ssd upgrade Possible?

I have a Samsung SSD 840 evo I've seen people install it but on EARLY 2013 can i do it on LATE 2013 and if there is anything i need to know
(but not void warranty)

Intermittent problems are very difficult to diagnose. I suggest running an Apple hardware Diagnostics that might provide a clue:

Macmini reboots/restarts randomly (late 2013, SSD internal storage, 16gb ram)

I just purchased the new MacMini late 2013 model (2.3 GHz INtel Core i7, 16GB ram 1600 mhz ddr3, 256 internal SSD), Mac OS 10.9.1
its been in mild usage for a month and in the past weeks I have noticed something whch might have been happening since I got it: it turns off and on again randomly, sometimes when I am in the middle of editing in Final Cut 7 or sometimes when it is in sleep mode... no pattern, apparently. Then it restarts and says my mac crashed and restarted suddenly and offers to send the Apple report, which I have done a few times.
Since it is a new model, this worries me qa lot: any light to shed on this issue?

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Upgrading from a 256GB SSD to 1TB SSD

Hi,
I recently purchased a 2014 a wonderful Mac Pro (Cylinder type)
3.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 processor
12GB 1866MHz DDR3 ECC memory
Dual AMD FirePro D300
with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM each
256GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Have formed a view for a number of reasons that I want to upgrade the HD to 1Tb SSD (rather than attach additional external storage).
What is the best way to approach this upgrade without losing or having to reinstall the software already resident on the 256Gb SSD to be replaced.
Please note I am a recent convert to the Apple platform so ignorance is assured.
Cheers

Since the first step is finding an SSD which will fit and work (as Cekari points out, your typical 2.5" SSD won't), this discussion might be of interest to you. It gives some idea of what's compatible with what.

WD 1TB not recognised on 13" macbook pro retina (late 2013) even though it is exFAT file structure. The same drive is recognised on iMac and an old Dell laptop. I also have a seagate 2TB external hard drive (powered) that is recognised by my macbook pro.

I just bought a late 2013 macbook pro retina 13" a few days ago. I am trying to transfer all my music from my old Dell laptop. I formatted by 1TB Western Digital MyPassport to exFAT to allow read and write on both operating systems. The 1TB WD My Passport is recognised by both my Dell and iMac but not my new macbook pro retina 13 (late 2013). My 1TB WD My Passport is USB 3.0 with USB 2.0 backward compatability. I also just bought a 2TB Seagate Desktop Backup Plus (which is powered) for backing up and extra file storage, THIS WORKS! I don't understand how this works on my macbook pro but my 1TB western digital my passport doesn't. PLEASE HELP!! I have done full formats as well (not quick ones) which take nearly 8 hours. PLEASE HELP

Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
& mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

I live in India, I recently bought a new iMac ( 21.5 Inch, Late 2013 ) but I cannot find it on Apple's iMac Identifying webpage?

Here in India, and here when someone decides to buy a new Apple product ( Mac Series ) our dreams are partially killed by the folks at Apple India, Why you ask? Well we don't get to build our own computer! Yes, they have ( Apple India ) preconfigured a set of iMac's and we have to choose from those and those only, there is no " official " way to upgrade your iMac's Internals. (https://www.apple.com/in/imac/specs/ )
Now to my Question : Part ONE
Since my iMac HDD at purchase which was officially upgradable ( 1TB 5400RPM ) is too slow for Video Editing, and I want to upgrade to a Samsung 850 Pro series SSD, so I had contacted OWC to help me out, but they said that they couldn't find my iMac's model number anywhere so it got me to wonder what is happening...!
I conacted OWC to help me upgrade my Late 2013 21.5 Inch iMac 's RAM from 8GB to its maximum capacity that is 16GB, and to upgrade the 1TB HDD to a 1TB SSD, but they said that my iMac was no where to be found so I opened this page up and I was not able to find it also...( How to identify iMac models ) which got me worrying to the authenticity of the product.
Part TWO :
Is it safe to get an SSD upgrade and RAM upgrade as I saw the video for a 21.5 Inch iMac upgrade as it has to be opened up 100% till its last screw so was just wondering .
My iMac details :
Name : iMac14, 3 ( Late 2013, 21.5 Inch )
Processor :
2.9GHz
quad-core Intel Core i5 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
NO Option for Core i7 was available.
RAM : 8GB (two 4GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 memory ( No 16GB Option was available through Apple! Not even for the 27 Inch Version! )
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
HDD : 1TB HDD at 5400 RPM ( ABSOLUTELY No Option was given for Flash Storage or SSD or Fusion Drive )
OSX Version : OSX Mavericks 10.9.5
A BIG THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, and apologies for the enormous description of my issue!

Your post was updated after mine was in transit...
Prior to first edit, that did not mention Thunderbolt.
By that time, I'd already posted once and then
had more info from a second browser window
that I had double-checked, & added a few words.
Nothing was missed, and my reply was not in
any way related to your comment. I said SSD
and Thunderbolt. Interchangeable w/ iMac HDD
at a later time, thus use clone or separate full
installation for that purpose. Bootable copy, etc.
Be that as it may, I am aware of the specs for the iMac 21.5"
models and you can also see them at everymac.com as well
as in the download database from http://mactracker.ca are
both adequate to compare specs. Also, the macsales.com
OWC site tells quite a bit.
The idea to use SSD and not HDD in the external could
suffice to avoid opening the iMac altogether if the result
was faster than unavailable? internal 7200 RPM upgrade.
The data rate via enclosure and Thunderbolt would likely
be a little slow using an SSD, but a running OS X can be
used from an external, as suggested. Note the data rate
that is published to be sure to get the best match SSD
for later installation inside the iMac 21.5.
I was not advocating a 7200-RPM spin rate HDD, instead
the idea was to compare the SSD in an external via
Thunderbolt, since it would barely be acceptable compared
to the internal data bus speed rate the internal HDD has
available to it...
To buy an external enclosure suitable for the SSD and set it
up as an alternative to the 5400-RPM internal 1TB, then at
a later time (pending location of pro service tech) swap it
into the computer; then internal 1TB could be installed in an
enclosure. That is, if both are compatible/interchangable &
can be used inside the iMac as well as an enclosure.
OWC has some fine examples of SSDs, as well as enclosures.
Some of their instruction videos are plausible, if you have the
model in question, and the model identification is correct to spec.
Besides, the 27-inch iMac Late-2013 sports a 7200-RPM HDD.
And up to 3TB capacity, and 1TB Flash. 32GB RAM, etc.
Anyway, I am not quibbling about semantics here.
Good luck & happy computing!

HT202856 Mac Pro Late 2013 and Samsung 4k monitor problem

I have the new Samsung 28" 4k screen (U28D590D) and it has tearing along the right edge when used with displayport. Any way to fix that? I tried different cables (all DisplayPort 1.2 complient) to be sure and have narrowed the issue to the Mac Pro. The HDMI works fine tho only @30hz so is a bit laggy in normal interaction. There is no way to turn on Multi-stream as indicated and I hope it isnt that this screen will never work.

nMP(late 2013) can't change graphic card...
I also have a problem when using the AMD card on My Mac Pro (Mid2012) OSX 10.9.3,
however, Windows(Bootcamp) OR with Nvidia GTX 760 4K 60hz OSX, Windows both working very well.
Probably... AMD OSX driver issue..

Late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina SSD Upgrade

So I just got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 128GB (MacBook 11,1) as a gift. After using the computer for a while, I realized that I need more space on my machine. So I called, chatted and went to the apple store (Walnutcreek, CA and Plano, TX) to see if they can guide me or help me on the upgrade of the drive. The representatives from all these locations said that unfortunately currently there is no upgrade options available for this machine. At one point, the rep. told me that I can ask a Apple authorized company to do the upgrade for me and my warranty will be voided but my apple care plan will still be valid and accept it for repair. They also provided me sites like: OWC, Transcend, Macsales, etc. to try and see if they have something that can help me on my issue.
But my main concern/question is that this is a "Late 2013" model and we are currently in year 2015, why hasn't apple or other companies come out with some solution to this issue?
Does anyone have other solutions that they can suggest to come around this issue?
Reminder - Late 2013 13" MacBook Pro 11,1 retina display mac
Thank you

Yes, I actually tried all these sites and notice that they currently don't have anything for MacBook 11,1 (Late 2013 13" MacBook Pro Retina).
That's why I was asking for other solutions. But thank you for the suggestion.

Can I upgrade memory/SSD on late 2013 MBP retina?

I have late 2013 MBP retina, 2.4 ghz, 11,1., basic 4GB and 125GB. I checked with OWC and they yet to have any solutions to upgrade. Am I stuck with this? Wanting to do some video editing and afraid I'll be bogged down.

No. Neither are user-upgradeable in that model. What makes you feel you will be bogged down? If you need more disk space just add an external USB drive. You should have sufficient RAM if you don't try to run far too many applications concurrently for the memory installed.

I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 500 GB Apple SSD SM0512F (Revision UXM2JA1Q).

I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 500 GB Apple SSD SM0512F (Revision UXM2JA1Q). I’d like to replace this original SSD with a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB. Am I going to encounter problems in trying to remove & replace the SSDs? That is, are they the same type of SSD, with same connection?
I plan to have a "tech" do the actual work inside the MacBook Pro, but I'd like to know if the current SSD can be easily replaced with the Samsung SSD 840 EVO?
Please note that I am so "green" that I'm not even sure if this provides adequate information to answer my question!

it's not possible to replace your SSD with 840 EVO.
Samsung 840 EVO is a standard 2.5" drive with SATA connector, while Retina MacBooks use proprietary "stick" form-factor with PCI Express interface.
AFAIK, there are no compatible PCIe SSDs on the market, the only upgrades you'll find are for earlier (2012) Retina MacBook Pros which use SATA.
If you're looking for extra capacity, external USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt HDD/SSD is the best option.

Macbook Pro 15' Early 2013 SSD Upgrade

I have a MBPr early 2013 with a 512GB SSD, will the new 1TB PCIe (late 2013 model) fit my Macbook Pro 15' or will I only be able to upgrade to the 756GB from the early 2013 model?

You need to change the premise of your SSD use.
see here:
Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
A Professional Example
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.
You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
External Hard Drives
External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
1. Data backup and protection.
2. Redundancy for important data.
3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.

Can I buy a late 2013 macbook pro retina SSD from Apple?

I bought a late 2013 model Macbook Pro with Retina 13 inch last week,
This machine has 256GB PCIE SSD, today, I think it's not enough space for me.
Can I buy an additional SSD from apple, and replace the one inside my MBP?
How to buy?

anything that shipped with a 2.5" form factor SATA Hard Drive can be upgraded to an Apple or aftermarket 2.5" form factor SATA "SSD-in-a-can".
the early SSD-only MacBook Air models shipped with a "stick" form factor SSD-ONLY in a special SATA socket. No room for a 2.5" form factor Hard drive. OWC and perhaps some others developed some aftermarket "drives" that are compatible.
I think it is only the 2013 models MacBook Air and MacBook Pro and Mac Pro (that do not have a 2.5" hard drive option) that made the leap to the "stick" form factor with a PCIe connection with a different special connector.
These PCIe SSDs are really fast, possibly on the order of 800 MBytes/sec. Compare to a 7200RPM Hard drive's 125 M Bytes/sec burst.

Upgrade nMP late 2013 SSD to 1Tb.
