Not worth the hassle and the faffing. Just pay Apple their tax. Your time is far more valuable. And if it’s not then you have bigger fish to fry.

Dunno... $500 for 30 minutes of fun work?

To be fair, I did this upgrade and actually ended up wasting several hours because the first SSD failed after a few weeks.

Right...so $500 + the risk of having to spend hours to deal with problems rather than taking it to an Apple store and having them deal with it (assuming you live close enough to one).

Obviously, the tradeoffs are different for everyone.
