Question

Upgrading Hard Drive on a MacBook Pro, Retina, 13-inch 2014

by Jun 9, 2018 6:08PM PDT

I have a MacBook Pro, Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014 (MacBookPro11,1) that I would like to upgrade the hard drive. What style of PCIe SSD do I need for this?



Researching these online I see a lot of different varieties of these drives.



I have seen:



1. HP EX920 M.2 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 (link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/372288828480)

2. Toshiba 1TB Gen3 x4 PCIe NVMe M.2




They all seem to look alike, but which one will work on my computer?

Will these work with well with my MacBook if I buy this adapter?
