This MacBook Pro uses a proprietary storage drive connector , and is therefore not compatible with common M.2 drives without the use of an adapter.\u003Cbr>Before you perform this repair , if at all possible , back up your existing SSD . Then , either familiarize yourself with internet recovery or create a bootable external drive so you’ll be ready to install macOS onto your new drive and migrate your data to the new SSD.\u003Cbr>Finally , we strongly recommend installing macOS 10.14 Mojave (or a later macOS) before replacing the original SSD from your MacBook Pro. Most new SSDs require updated storage drivers not found in versions of macOS prior to macOS 10.14 Mojave. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n|  TOOLS:\u003Cbr> P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver Retina MacBook Pro and Air (1)\u003Cbr> T5 Torx Screwdriver (1)\u003Cbr> Spudger (1) |  PARTS:\u003Cbr> OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD (1)\u003Cbr> MacBook Pro 13\" and 15\" Retina (2015) SSD (1) |\n\nThis document was generated on 2022-12-09 06:24:42 AM (MST) .  \nStep 1—Lower Case  \n􀀁 Remove the following P5 pentalobe screws securing the lower case to the MacBook Pro:  \n􀀁 Eight 3.1 mm  \n􀀁 Two 2.3 mm  \nStep 2  \n􀀁 Lifting from the edge nearest the clutch cover , lift the lower case off the MacBook Pro.  \nThis document was generated on 2022-12-09 06:24:42 AM (MST) .  \nStep 3  \n􀀂  \n􀀃  \nThe lower case has two plastic pegs ( red) that fit into plastic clips in the upper case (orange) .  \nDuring reassembly , gently push down the center of the lower case to reattach the case to its two plastic clips.  \nStep 4—Battery Connector  \n􀀁 Peel back the sticker covering the battery connector.  \nThis document was generated on 2022-12-09 06:24:42 AM (MST) .  \nStep 5  \n􀀁 Gently lift each side of the battery connector to pry the connector out of its socket on the logic board.  \n􀀁 Bend the connector back toward the battery , ensuring that the battery connector doesn't accidentally make contact with the logic board.  \nStep 6—SSD  \n􀀁 Remove the single 2.9 mm T5 Torx screw securing the SSD to the logic board.  \nThis document was generated on 2022-12-09 06:24:42 AM (MST) .  \nStep 7  \n􀀁 Lift the end of the SSD up enough to pass over the speaker directly behind it.  \n􀀄 Do not lift the SSD too high , or you could damage the contacts or socket.  \n􀀁 Pull the SSD straight out of its socket on the logic board.  \nTo reassemble your device , follow these instructions in reverse order.  \nThis document was generated on 2022-12-09 06:24:42 AM (MST) .","cbCaitotwSBe2zWO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitotwSBe2zWO","pdf",1538841,"English","# Introduction\n# Tools and Parts\n# Step 1 - Lower Case\n# Step 2\n# Step 3\n# Step 4 - Battery Connector\n# Step 5\n# Step 6 - SSD\n# Step 7","[{\"question\":\"Why isn’t a standard M.2 SSD directly compatible with the MacBook Pro 15” Mid 2015?\",\"answer\":\"The MacBook Pro uses a proprietary storage drive connector, so it’s not compatible with common M.2 drives without an adapter.\"},{\"question\":\"What should you do before replacing the SSD?\",\"answer\":\"Back up the existing SSD if possible, and be ready to install macOS on the new drive using internet recovery or a bootable external drive for data migration.\"},{\"question\":\"Which macOS version does the guide recommend installing before the SSD swap?\",\"answer\":\"The guide strongly recommends installing macOS 10.14 Mojave (or a later macOS) before replacing the original SSD.\"}]","MacBook Pro 15\" Retina Display Mid 2015 SSD Replacement | PDF",1792884101,15]
