I would like to upgrade the storage in my 13" rMBP from 256GB and due to incompatibility issues (extra power consumption, sleep/hibernation issues) I rather choose a used SSD.
My questions that is it physically possible to put the 1TB Samsung SSUAX drive into the slot and close the bottom case for sure? The 1TB device looks wider a little bit. Although it seems that the chips and things are left around the area exactly for that size, but it's just an estimation since this model was available up to 256GB in stock back then.
These are the SSDs:

And this is the opened Macbook, with the slimmer SSD in the logic board:
