A 2.5-inch SATA SSD (I used a 480GB Kingston A400).To do this upgrade, you’re going to need a few things: What’s more, you can do it yourself using a couple of tools and some time.
It’s now so economical to replace the 2.5-inch factory-installed HDD with an SSD that it’s crazy not to do it. Solid State Drives (SSDs) have come way down in price over the last few years. If your Mac is running with the same spinning hard disk drive (HDD) it came with, it’s about time to replace it. Any 2.5-inch SSD with a SATA interface should be a plug-and-play replacement for the hard drive that came with your Mac. While the specifications of each of these Macs is different, the actual architecture of them is similar enough that the same rules apply when it comes to taking them apart and upgrading them. This same hardware design is shared by quite a few different 13-inch MacBook Pro models. Here’s a list of the specific Mac models that this SSD installation tutorial is applicable to:
I did an SSD upgrade for mine and it’s running like greased lightning. If you’re on a tight hardware budget, or like me, you’ve acquired one of these old workhorses for cheap and you’re willing to put a little bit of coin and some elbow grease to get it running well, the payoff is tremendous. One of the best performance upgrades you can give your MacBook Pro is to replace the stock hard disk drive with an SSD. If you have one and you’re looking to get some more bang for your buck, it’s possible with relatively little muss and fuss to upgrade them to keep them going a while longer while making them much faster than they ever were from the factory. My MacBook is fully updated to OS X El Capitan.I've read on similar threads that downgrading to OS X Yosemite might help?Īnother thought I had is that I've read that some people only swap one of the RAM chips, so I would have 1 of my original 2gb Ram chips and one 8gb upgraded chip, so having a total of 10gb which would be much better than my original 2x 2gb Ram.There are a lot of pre-Retina Display equipped 13-inch MacBook Pros still in service. I Have checked the system report and the new memory is being registered in the correct RAM slots, but it seems something somewhere else is going wrong.
Now it sometimes restarts its elf even when im not using it, very annoying! It has only done this since I put the new RAM in. But then all of a sudden about 5 mins into surfing the web the screen went blank and it started to restart itself. I have just upgraded my mid 2012 MacBook Pro to 16gb using 2x 8gb ATech DDR3 12800 1600MHz and to start with everything was fine, booted up quickly etc.
