RISOLTO: SSD Dying. Would like to try replacing. Need tools, etc. - MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2012

SSD Dying. Would like to try replacing. Need tools, etc.

I have just started to have problems with my fseventsd using a lot of memory and CPU. Apparently this presages the death of the SSD:(.

I am hoping to get a new M1 MacBook Pro next month but I’d like to keep the old machine going for as long as I can if possible.

I bought one of the first Retina MBPs in 2012 with only a 256GB SSD. Does anyone have a recommendation for the largest SSD possible that’ll work with this machine?

Also, I’d like to buy an iFixit toolkit to make sure I have everything I need to take my old machine apart and install the new SSD so I’d appreciate recommendations for which toolkit to buy.

Thanks in advance.
