Attaining an original SSD from Apple for an upgrade

Hi. My 13" 2017 Non-Touchbar comes with 128gb of storage, and i would like to upgrade it. From the reviews i've seen on Amazon from Third-Party manufacturers, there is no point going that route. Apple must be holding stock of spare SSDs, and my question is if i can buy these in any way? 500gb would be enough, but 1tb would be sweet if not too expensive. I live in Sweden.



This is how they look inside the computer.

Assuming this is what you are looking at: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B09TV3S583/ref=cm_cr_unknown?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=five_star&reviewerType=all_reviews&pageNumber=1#reviews-filter-bar


It has 2 comments about being slow out of 28 reviews. I'm not sure the people posting those comments are more trustworthy that MacSales.


I agree with Grant, they probably did not know what they were doing.

sudo trimforce enable

then enter your Admin password, which will not be echoed.



then they show you a disclaimers and ask you so say Yes.

Then your computer restarts and comes up with TRIM enabled.



This article discusses the issue and does not get sidetracked, as so many other articles do.
