Macbook SSD and RAM upgrading

[MugFree]

Hi all, planning to upgrade my mac but have few questions to ask, hope some experts can answer


1) What are the reputable shops to upgrade SSD and RAM?
2) And how much will each usually cost?
3) Why are smaller capacity SSDs recommended over larger ones?

Thank you

1 - honestly I recommend doing self-upgrade as it's not that hard, refer to www.ifixit.com for guides
2 - See the guide on ifixit and you decide how much you're willing to pay someone to have it done for
3 - I've not heard of this info, I've used 60GB, 250GB, 500GB SSDs and don't see any differences.

If you prefer to let the professional do it I would recommend MacLife at SLS however don't expect the SSD and memory to be cheaper than Amazon.
