Reasonably priced hard drive upgrade option
So i have been searching around online for a SSD that i can use to upgrade the current factory SSD from 240GB to 1TB. I was looking at the Aurora Pro but that is retailing at anywhere between £270 - £390 GB which if i’m honest is a bit excessive considering that there are 1TB SSD drives of a similar physical size that i am finding online that are under £100. I have just spent £124 on replacing the battery and swapping out a faulty fan and if i add on nearly £400 for a 1TB SSD thats nearly £524 already and thats not including the repair on the microphone and keyboard replacement i still have to do. I am basically trying to refurb my mac instead of buying a new one as i like this macbook, it has served me well over the years.
Is there any other viable cheaper option than the Aurora Pro drives. I have found several drives that look like they would be compatible, case in point this drive :

However the crucial website tells me this isnt compatible with my mac. Surely there has to be other options than just the Aurora. That is so so so %#*@ over priced for a 1TB SSD for a 7 year old macbook. Can anyone who is more in the know than me offer some advice and recommendations?
Is this a good question?
