• T420-best SSD for use in housing Ultrabay caddy?

  What is the best SSD for use in the Ultrabay caddy in a Thinkpad T420?

  Welcome to the forum!

  Any standard 2.5 "7mm or 9.5 mm SSD should work. I'd stick with brands such as Crucial, Samsung or Intel and are looking for the cost lowest to higher capacity. Considering that the T420 is now several years old, that I doubt that go with the SSD that has specifications "faster" will make a difference in practice.

  BTW the Ultrabay works at speeds of SATA-III (6 Gb/s), so it shouldn't be a bottleneck compared to the internal drive Bay.

• Best SSD for a T420 under $ 200

  Hello

  I'm awkward between a T420 and a 220 X, especially because the X 220 has a smaller screen and I don't know how I'll be able to adapt to that (I already have glasses, so...).

  What is the best SSD for the T420 under $ 200? Almost any larger than 100 GB capacity should be fine for me as I intend to get a UltraBay housing and put the HARD drive.

  Crucial than any other brand? I'm more interested in the series from Intel. Which Intel series should I watch? As I said, I don't have huge sizes. Good speed is a +.

  The Intel 520 series is also very popular, as is the Samsung 830 series. They are all good. You could do a search on Google for reviews and comparison tests, but I suspect that you will be happy with any of them.

• Best OS for mid 2009 MBP

  Hello

  I have 13 "environment 2009 running 10.6.8 MBP. I don't had not updated the operating system far as I feared that the performance will go down because it has 2 GB of RAM.

  However, it has now reached a level where its just become painful to use the system, so I'm planning the next upgrade:

  1 out to 8 GB of RAM max

  2 swap on optical drive for 250 GB SSD for the OS and keep the old 160 GB hard drive.

  I'm not sure that exceeds with upgrade what operating system will be better suited for my MBP? I had intended to put the Mavericks as I heard both Yosemite and El Captain will not work it smooth on an older version of the macbook pro. I would be really grateful if anyone can advice that will be the best OS? I mostly use my laptop computer for word processing and e-mail and yes the light room 4.

  Also, should I swap the optical drive for the new SSD or the old HDD? (My optical drive does not in all cases). I earlier had intended to get 500GB SSD but then decided to go for 250 and save money as I have 1 TB external hard drive I use since I'm working on several machines, most of the time.

  Other advice or point I should keep in mind during the upgrade?

  Thank you very much

• Best Config for the new MBP 13 "retina? (decide between the RAM and the space... i7 also confirmation is worth)

  I'm in the market for a new MBP 13 "retina and I have a few questions about where max out of the unit.

  What I have... I currently have a renovated MBP 13 "retina, end 2012, 2.9 GHz, 8 GB to 128 GB of storage. I was especially pleased with this machine. I love the SSD and the quick start. The only regions that in deca for me were video compression and storage of physical disk speed. I currently have about 30 GB HD free space, but it's because I'm a Spartan and store essential files only on the MBP. Without a doubt, I want to double my storage on the following I buy (at least it will give it more leeway to work properly).

  What I do for a living... I am a writer and also a vlogger. I opted for the i7 chip because video compression is painful on the cell current, particularly H264. I use MS Word, Photoshop, Quicktime Pro and compression software to take videos and convert raw. MOV H264. So my core processing tasks, record audio/video and audio/video compression. I turn on photoshop work.

  What I would like to get...

  • MacBook Pro 13 inch with Retina display
  • 3.1GHz dual - core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz
  • Intel Iris 6100 graphics card
  • 8 GB RAM
  • 256 GB HD

  My Questions:

  1. It is better to push either the HD or RAM, up to 16 GB or 512 GB, respectively? I can't afford both. Or does save $200. (I upgraded in general on 3-year cycles)
  2. I guess that the i7 will help with the compression of various media or export tasks I have? Usually, I have to record videos using the internal camera and then export it into a format more suitable for delivery. Same with the audio (except that I capture with a blue Yeti MIC). Basically, I want to just speed up export jobs and compression. To do this, I guess the i7 and turbo boost will shine?

  Just curious if anyone has any advice... I would like to purchase today. Thank you! I'm leaning towards i7 with 256 SSD and 8 GB of RAM. Since I already have an i7 on my 2012 model, descending into the processor speed is not really sense (2.9-2.7). Nor do the same (2.9 to 2.9). I'd love to 16 GB of RAM, but it pushes the machine to near $2 K.

• May my end 2011 MBP running 10.11.5 El Capitan using Back to My Mac to see my 2006 Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

  I want to be able to access my Mac Mini to the road, but it supports the latest OS is 10.6.8 which was at the time of MobileMe. How can I use back to my mac to access the mini?

  Thank you!

  I suspect that Snow Leopard 10.6 doesn't have access to iCloud, so set up Back-to-My-Mac might be a problem.

  You can use (free for personal use) TeamViewer.com screen sharing and transfer between your 2 file systems.

  <http://teamviewer.com>

  Try the current version on both systems, but if you have you can also get an older version for Snow Leopard system

  <https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/>

  It is otherwise more complicated for remote connections, to open ports in your personal router, setting up secure ssh tunnels, etc., but it is really something for people who love to get down and dirty with pieces of computer

  Hello

  I'm looking for a compatible Mac (no worries) SSD for my Mid 2010 13 "2,4 Ghz MBP.

  I can't afford to upgrade to a new MBP. but a 240 GB, 250 GB, 256 GB SSD is desirable.

  I've read up, and it seems that the Samsungs are a chore for macs.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  I got excellent results with SSD OCZ and OWC. I also used Samsung 840 and 850 (not professional) without any problem on several of my computers. OCZ and SSD from OWC are quite compatible.

• How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

  Hello

  I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

  Here are some technical details of my current system:

  -MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

  -OS yosemite

  -16 GB of memory/RAM

  -Currently using stock HD

  All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.

• end of 2011 MBP stops when unplugged

Re-start works, but only for a minute. system report states that, whatever it is the air out here? Sounds like a battery problem, I'm on the original battery, but I thought battery would just shrink, not just stop working.

• Upgrade to SSD for MacBook Pro 13 "(2011)

  I want to upgrade to a hard drive SSD for my notebook Early 2011 MacBook Pro.

  What are the specifications of the SSD looking?

  Is that the kind of 2.5 "(7mm)?"  I was looking at the card SanDisk Ultra II or similar model.

  What is the process or the workflow to change SSD?  (he just plug or do I need a prop?)

  I backed up my current HARD drive for Time Machine on a G-Drive external hard drive.  Can I restore my backup for the SSD of Time Machine, or are there additional steps?

  Thank you in advance.

  Any SSD with a box 2.5 "will be compatible with your MBP.  I recommend OWC SSD or critical based on my experience and other participants of CSA veterans.

  Installing the SSD is the same as for a traditional HARD drive.  Watch this video:

  https://eShop.MacSales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_early11_hd/

  You must format the SSD in Mac OS extended (journaled) disk utility.  You can use Time Machine to restore your data on the SSD.

  You can follow these guidelines:

• Early 2011 MBP 15 "dual SSD - lost with boot camp edition

  Hello community!

  I lost my mind with boot camp troubleshooting during the last week. This is going to be confused reading, but I'm afraid I got worse... So please try to face me.

  Starting point - of course I can install Windows 10 on my MBP 2011 early!

  Material

  Early 2011 MBP 15 "with Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6750M

  and the optical drive, replaced by an other SSD with a caddy

  Of course, I didn't have an optical drive on the spot so I realized that I need to install to get the option to boot from USB - I did find. I managed to make a bootable USB from. ISO with UNETBOOTIN. First of all, I got score of huge problems with that I finally managed to Dodge with diskpart - software on Windows Installer USB after NVRAM reset before each attempt to install with CMD + Option + P + R, I had to also remove the OSX SSD during the installation of VICTORY for everything the world some boring as Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Unable to continue installation -problem.

  After all:

  -> I managed to install WIN10 on my MBP education

  -> A lot of festivities fun! < 3

  -> After installing the bootcamp drivers all active windows went to "invisible desktop on the left" (I closed the other workstations...) where I managed to lift one of the windows on the central office with lucky and "move" action (I have no idea...)

  -> after reboot apparently drivers Intel HD 3000 went haywire and I got black screen on black with details in black (black screen Uni)

  Conclusion: I try Windows 8.1 (pro) because at least he is supported by my Mac AND it has same installation and should work.

  At one point I tried to use my old drive via USB to install Windows 7 and 8.1 pro

  -> PROBLEM CDBOOT: couldn't find the BOOTMGR

  -> I moved along back USB and WIN8.1

  8.1 Windows Pro was installed easily, with the same procedure. When running boot camp display drivers turns black during the "Intel - graphic" installation period. I can confirmed that starting mode safe mode when the screen works, but I can't install Catalyst drivers-> so I can not play games that was the only reason for dual boot. In addition, there is no sound. So lack of drivers: no picture, no sound.

  There... I think I forgot to say something. I was hoping just that if someone could help me with this problem. I lose my head here. I have not really direction where to go next, but I have a few options I can try after that I understand my morale of my troops.

  1. Remove my boot OS X SSD, switch my SSD Windows instead of him and put my Superdrive. So I would basically just install windows. Earlier, I had 8 windows work via the DVD and bootcamp.
  2. Try to play with the drivers on Win8.1 more
  3. Reinstall windows. There may be something wrong with my. ISO or USB?
  4. Delete the EFI to correct CDBOOT?

  Thank you in advance!

  You must use Bootcamp Assistant for everything, including the form/partitioning implementation and the removal of partitions...

  I would like to reformat the second SSD (on which should be installed W10) with diskUtility. Then start bootcampassistant on SSD1 and do all this.
