MacBook Pro 15 2014, 512GB or 1TB?

I am planning to upgrade my MacBook Air to a MacBook Pro 15. I am still deciding between the 512GB or the 1TB upgrade. What are your thoughts on upgrading to 1TB? Is the cost worth it? I do a lot of photography and the 1TB upgrade would be nice but not sure if it's worth it.

Let me know what your thoughts are.

Thanks!

We have no idea what constitutes "a lot of photography" or how much disk space you'll need.

The rule used to be that you could never have too much disk space. But in the days of multi terabyte drives, you may find that you don't come close to filling it before it's time to buy a new machine.  Then again, you might fill it in a week. We have no way to know.

Keep in mind that large external hard drives are dirt cheap these days. You can always buy one (or more) and offload what you don't need to keep with you all the time.

I want to upgrade my Retina MacBook Pro to 1TB SSD but I don't how to do it my model is a mid 2014 model and it's able to handle 1TB but I don't know how to upgrade I need help

Hi Superlum:

How much space do you have on your existing MacBook Air?

I recently upgraded from a 13" 2011 MacBook Pro to a 15" 2017 MacBook Pro. I went with the 1TB drive.

I still have 770 GB available.

One thing to keep in mind is that you will not be able to upgrade later if you change your mind. The SSD is soldered to the motherboard. That is why I went with the 1TB. My old MacBook Pro has a 512GB skinny drive.

So to upgrade from 512GB to 1 TB is $480.00 Canadian.

The other option is to get yourself a NAS drive with the money you save. https://www.amazon.ca/Synology-DiskStation-DS916-8GB-Diskless/dp/B01EMZHLZU/ref= sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1504620514&sr=1-1&keywords=synology+ds916%2B

I have the Synology DS916+ and put all of my larger files on it. Like movies, pictures, etc.

Anyway only you can make that decision.

Hi,

If you use an external HD to offload data, then you'll still need another external HD to backup that one.

If you're not sure which to go with, always go for the larger one; I've never heard anyone complain about too much storage.

If you're talking about a 2017 model, it can never be upgraded, so the time is now.

To me, it seems like the choice is clear, get the 1TB.

Hi MarioChinoMundo:

If you want to upgrade your mid 2014 Retina MacBook Pro to 1 TB SSD, I would suggest getting an SSD from OWC.

I might have misunderstood your post. Based on your subject, are you asking about upgrading a used 2014 MBP's storage? If so for only about $235 more you can go from the 480GB to the 1TB model: SSD Upgrade Kits for MacBook Pro Retina Display 2013-2015

I want my Retina MacBook Pro upgraded to 1TB SSD Internal Hardrive please give a answer on how I would be able to do it

Ok Thank Yo

See my earlier post.
