2TB SSD DRIVE FOR MACBOOK PRO PRO

I just realized the Unibody Mid 2012 MacBook Pro 15' came with an option for the following processor: 2.7 GHz (3820QM) with 8 MB on-chip е…ѓ cache (15' only). Not a completely fair cost comparison, but a 2TB SSD costs around $700-800. I do like how it's shed about 1.5 lbs in weight. It just feels like a new MacBook Pro for $4,000 is in many ways inferior to a 5 year old product that cost significantly less (no magsafe charger, no upgradable SSD). I think my current MacBook Pro cost around $2500, 5 years ago. It's in great shape all considered but starting to show some wear. My current MacBook Pro has experienced 5 years of heavy use, sometimes in tough environments. It could be that my USB ports are worn out.

2TB SSD DRIVE FOR MACBOOK PRO UPGRADE

There isn't a 2 TB upgrade that I know of for the 2013-15 Retina MBPs, and you usually only see 2 TB in maxed-out configurations of 2016-17 15' models. Which 2012 MacBook? What else do you need from a machine other than a 2 TB SSD? I think the answers to both of those are necessary to give you an intelligent response.Дў TB SSDs are still rare and expensive beasts. Is there something I'm missing? Should I be using a thunderbolt array product or something? Last I checked those where not cheap either. Is that really my best option aside from shelling out $4k? I wouldn't mind shelling out $3k if I had the option to upgrade the SSD. I don't mind buying refurbished if it comes with a 2-3 year warranty.ДЄny ideas? The current best idea seems to be to upgrade the SSD in my 2012 to 2 TB, replace the battery, and have the touchpad professionally restored. I also really like having a magnetic power strip. Although perhaps that has been fixed with better USB controllers, or Thunderbolt. I really hate working with USB 3 drives because, while fast, they have a tendency to glitch out on me. But I was a bit upset to find out that if I want to upgrade to a newer MacBook with a 2TB SSD it's going to cost upwards of $4,000 with AppleCare, and may not be upgradable to 4TB (when that becomes available.) It would be nice to have a newer quad core processor. My current 2012 MacBook is starting to feel a little old.
