Hi! I currently have an "old-but-powerful enough" MBP Retina 13" Early 2015.
It has i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB original SSD, etc. I would like to upgrade it a bit, the first thing is the SSD, I guess.
I now have 55GB of free space, so I do not have so much trouble with free space on this device.
However I am really curious in terms of the speed increase after an SSD upgrade is done.
On YouTube I have seen lots of videos like people are upgrading those Early 2015 devices with Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB SSDs. It seems the procedure is so easy, I just need a new SSD and an adapter, then all the process is preparing the SSD and then putting it inside the SSD slot of the computer.
But first, do we have anyone that has done this upgrade before, and can he/she leave some comments regarding this upgrade like:
Is there any disadvantage or side effect of this upgrade?
Does it make the device faster in terms of boot time, app opening, app running etc.?
