If your MacBook takes a long time to start, freezes frequently, crashes unexpectedly, or constantly runs out of storage even after deleting files, the SSD may be failing or no longer suitable for your usage. A professional diagnosis can confirm whether SSD replacement or upgrade is required.

In most cases, the answer is no; however, when the old SSD still has some life left in it, the data can typically be transferred safely to the new SSD. If there are signs of damage to the existing SSD, then the ability to recover the data may depend on how badly that SSD has been damaged. Regardless of the outcome, preserving the data while conducting repairs is the highest priority.

In many cases, the replacement or upgrade of a SSD in a Macbook can be accomplished within the same day, but this largely depends on the model of the Macbook and compatibility between the new and existing SSD. More complicated situations or needing to transfer data from one drive to another may require additional time, but an estimated time can be established at the time of your inspection.

For many users, replacing and/or upgrading an SSD is often times more economically prudent than purchasing another Macbook. Provided that the rest of the Macbook is functional, a repaired or upgraded SSD will greatly increase the performance of your Macbook while expending significantly less funds than would have been needed to replace the Macbook.

Not all MacBook models support SSD replacement or upgrades. Some newer models have soldered storage that cannot be replaced. Our technicians will check your MacBook model and clearly explain your available options before proceeding with any service.
