MacBook Pro SSD Upgrade!

My trusty 2015 13” MacBook Pro was badly in need of some TLC as not only did I buy the already expensive base model (sporting a 5th gen Intel Core i5 processor and a whopping 128GB SSD at roughly $1300 back in the day), it had gone for 5 whole years without being disassembled and cleaned. With the tiny hard drive, for months if not years, I kept encountering the “Your disk is almost full” message followed by system crashes and would be forced to use either Grand Perspective to analyze my disk space usage and delete the largest files I could find or empty my Downloads or Trash (and sometimes delete files I realized I needed later - oops).
