I keep reading that Macbooks late 2013 and onward do not allow for this hard drive replacement—that is not to say you can’t replace it physically—something about new built in safeguards that won’t allow you to use the new HD? Has anyone heard this? Has anyone had success replacing an existing 1 TB SSD in a late 2013 15” Macbook pro with a 4TB? If so which SSD did you use? If I have a time machine backup to a Drobo (external nas) is that all I need in order to be able to restore after the replacement? Are there special instructions for getting the OS back on the system or will the mac “know what to do”. I used to do this with MS computers all the time but never on a mac. It’s new territory for me. Thanks for any help!
