Very painful, and I am only a RAW shooting Amateur photographer. I had the 500GB SSD, but was running out of space and having to off load photos all the time. Interestingly I had the same problem with the same era MacBook Pro Retina.

See also the OWC SSD Upgrade Guide for all Macs.
MPG suspects that OWC may have offerings for 2014 and alter iMacs sometime soon, given these new developments, and because there are already up to 4TB internal SSDs for the Mac Pro. MPG: Apple iMacs through 2013 models can have up to a 2TB 2.5" internal SSD. Do you know of OWC has a similar SSD upgrade for the iMacs? I couldn’t find it on their website. on internal drive and am running out of space.

Of course I have external drives for photo storage, but I keep my music, videos, etc. I have a late 2013 iMac 5k with 512 GB SSD. * Sony A7R II raw files are 86MB each (43MB compressed), and 4K video is huge. So the way to look at it is not a doubling of flash capacity, but a tripling of available storage capacity. Note that in this foregoing example, upgrading from 512(500) GB internal to 1TB internal SSD would effectively more than triple usable space from ~220GB to ~680GB. So instead of a new laptop ($3578 with tax and AppleCare!), it is about $600 to upgrade to a 1TB internal SSD. While a new laptop would bring various niceties, the late 2013 model remains more than ample for all field-use purposes upgrading would not yield meaningful benefits other than a larger SSD. To address this capacity issue, it comes down to spending about $3000 to buy a new MacBook Pro Retina 2.8GHz / 16GB / 1TB just to obtain an 1TB internal SSD.

While an external drive can be used for overflow, it’s much nicer to download everything to the internal SSD, and to backup it all to external(s)-neat and clean solution. That 220GB remaining capacity has become a headache with higher resolution cameras and big raw files*. Combined with OS X and certain necessary files, 280GB of the capacity is always in use and cannot be reduced, leaving only about 220GB available for storage. The issue is that the MBP Retina has a 500GB internal SSD (500GB usable despite Apple 512GB claim). MPG Lloyd still uses a late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina for photography when traveling (see ).
