I had mistakenly assumed my MBP 2015 SSD was removable / replaceable but turns out Apple started soldering the SSD to the motherboard and in doing so eliminated perhaps the most bulletproof disaster recovery strategies in the cosmos... a USB caddy. Instead they put a proprietary SSD access port on the logic board for accessing the SSD. And in the case of my dead 2015 MBP, that port was unable to access the SSD.
Bravo apple.
- PascLeRasc 7y agoThe 2015 Macbook Pro? As in, it has Magsafe and Thunderbolt 2? You can indeed remove and replace the SSD, all you need is one of these adapters and then you can put in any M.2 NVMe you want. I'm using an Intel 660p in my '15 MBP, I can answer any questions you have about the upgrade process.

- thelittleone 7y agoMy apologies. That was meant to be 2016 when touchbar was released. I had the previous gen with removable SSD and did use a caddy for that when it’s logic board died.
