Is it possible to Swop my SSD 4TB drive from my 2019 MacBook Pro 16" 2019 into a new MacBook Pro 2024 16"

I'm looking at buying a new MacBook Pro and I already have a large SSD on my 2019 MacBook. Can Apple swap the drives for me?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0

No, the internal drive from your old MacBook Pro cannot be installed in your new MBP. The storage in the newest Mac computers is imbedded into the logic board.


If you are asking about an external SSD, then it's simply a matter of connecting the external drive to the new laptop. If that drive is a USB drive you may need a USB-A to USB-C plug adapter to connect it to the new MacBook Pro.
