sorted byI've found this iFixit teardown mentioning SSD upgrade: ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Retina+Display+Mid+2014+SSD+Replacement/27849
"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."
Found this adapter with good reviews on Amazon: Voila Reve M.2 NVME SSD Convert Adapter for Upgraded MacBook Air Pro Retina Mid 2013-2017,NVME/AHCI SSD Upgraded Kit for A1465 A1466 A1398 A1502 amzn.eu/d/9HfLndz
The recommended way to move your old installation onto the new drive is to back it up with Time Machine, replace the drive with the adapter, then restore from Time Machine onto the new drive.
If you can't backup or wants to start fresh then don't forget to make a bootable installation media before replacing the drive (unless you have a second machine).
So documentation certainly exists and reviewers for the adapter mentioned upgrading with M.2 drives. Should be possible, but like I said, I'd stick with PCIe Gen 3 drives for compatibility's sake. Gen 4 drives weren't a thing back then so I personally wouldn't risk it. (edited)
- Won't work in PS5.
- Doesn't have DRAM (but it doesn't really matter)
Genuinely would appreciate an education on this. I think a deep dive on DRAM inclusion would help fellow members when choosing their solution.
