2011 MacBook Pro SSD Replacement

내 문제

My hard disk was limping along at abysmal speed, draining my battery every hour and was starting to go corrupt as evident in my finder window. Desperate need of a new HD.

나의 수리

Super simple and straight forward. Had my trusty iFixit tool kit and a silicone HD enclosure with USB connectors. (yeah, firewire would have been faster but much more expensive.)

I installed a Crucial, MX 512G SSD and it is a dream. I wish I could have afforded the 1TB. 1st world problems.

Replacement is 20 minutes but USB data transfer of 374GB took 6 hours. FYI.

Be safe and scan your system before you transfer. I used SentinelPro, BitDefender, MalwareBytes and ClamXav. All showed a clean system.

Carbon Copier is a fantastic program for transferring data with a free 30-day period. Don't waste your time with Disk Utility!
