How can I determine which Intel SSD is compatible with my MacBook PRo mid-2012?

I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012 (not retina) and I need to upgrade my hard drive to an SSD. I've seen several like Intel s 540 and 750 series and a Crucial MX SSD. However, I am trying to identify the one which would be compatible and the best alternative for my upgrade. I appreciate the help. Thank you.

SSD:

MX200 essential 500 GB SATA 6 GB/s 2.5 "

Intel SSD 540 s series 480GB 2.5 "SATA 6 Gb/s, 16nm, TLC

Intel SSD 750 series (400 GB 1/2 height PCle 3.0, 20nm, MLC)

Your Mac has a SATA interface, so the PCIe model is not compatible, I would choose most of the three.

  • With cable of HDD to SSD Macbook Pro mid-2012

    I've recently upgraded to SSD (Samsung Evo 850) of the HARD drive on my Macbook pro mid-2012. However, the installation of the SSD has been very painful. I tried to use in recovery mode disk utility, several times but it fails to remove or mount the SSD drive. I thought it was the faulty SSD. Then I hung the SSDS via a USB port and proceeded to install OS X on it (using my HARD drive). The SSDS works very well with the USB key, so I put it in and hooked up with the flex cable that was previously used for my HARD drive. However, this does not work, the operating system sees that there is a reader hooked, sees the name, size and etc, but does not charge, gives me the sign of question mark folder, which means there is no hanging drive. So I think it's something with the HARD drive, SATA cable. But the cable works perfectly when used with the HARD disk. So I was wondering if the HARD drive cable that comes with Macbook Pro mid-2012 is compatible with the SSD. I watched several videos of people the SSD HARD drive upgrade, but they all seem to be using the same cable. Any ideas what could be the problem or if I need a different type of cable? Thank you.

    Try this it worked for another user having the same problems.

    Your MacBook is looking for initial start-up by car but can not find.

    Power on the Mac and hold down the 'option' at the same time, and then manually select to boot from the drive of choice.

    Also, try this first:

    SMC and the PRAM Reset

    I have a MBP mid-2012 13 inches and I did an upgrade SSD with a Samsung Evo 850-series (500 GB.). However, I had no problem.

    I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the original disc for the SSD via a USB-to-Sata adapter.

    My first start was slow because I don't have the SMC / PRAM reset my MBP was looking for startup disk.

    However after my MBP starts very quickly. I got no problem with Samsung Evo SSD. They work very well with Macs.

    Don't forget to activate the "pad" your non - owc SSD support.

    Open "terminal app" and enter the command 'sudo trimforce activate' select YES, YES... and restart after completing

    Why did you start a new post? Post again only after only 8 minutes accomplished nothing.

    There is no general problem going to EL Capitan on your Mac.

    Some applications may require updating.

    Some devices like printer may require the updated drivers. For some readers of devices not being updated are available.

  • Slow start after MacBook Pro mid 2012 Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD upgrade

    Hi dude, I would ask why, after I upgraded my MacBook Pro mid 2012 at Kingston XFury 240 GB SSD, my MacBook Pro take more than an hour at the system boot? The purpose of my mac said the SSD (S.M.A.R.T. is checked) and RAM information. I also restart the EL Capitan already.

    Is - this problem is hardware or software?

    Did you properly prepare the new SSD?

    Install OS X using the recovery network

    Make sure that you have backed up your files because the following procedure will remove all of the hard drive.

    Start on the recovery of the network server:

    Restart the computer after the ring, press in and hold the COMMAND + OPTION + R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15 - 20 minutes - until the main recovery menu appears.

    Partition and format the hard disk:

    1. Select in the main menu disk utility and click on the continue button.
    2. After load of THE select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entrance Out-dented with the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click the Partition tab in the main window of THE.
    3. Under the scheme of titled Volume set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete. To leave and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than wireless.

    This should restore the version of OS X, originally installed on the computer.

  • How can I determine which had launched a particular service?

    Hello guys:
    I was checking the services of Windows 7 and saw that just the computer turns and there are services began.
    Obviously, if the service is set to automatic start, this behavior is expected. But if it is set to start manual (on request), should be a service or application that has begun. Sometimes, which could explain the dependencies, more precisely in the box that says: "the following system components depend on this service. But what happens if this box is empty.
    My question is, how do I determine the service or the responsible application to launch a service to manual start?
    Best regards.

    How can I determine the service or the responsible application to launch a service to manual start?


    One obvious answer is to disable and observed effect. However, I am usually warning against changing services default start settings, because it tends to cause system error. Users often do to improve the performance of the system, but it will normally do for negligible improvement and often be likely to result in a decrease in system performance.

  • How can I determine which applications and processes are turned on at first upward and how can I keep their autostart?

    My office of gateway using Windows XP takes a long time to start.  I hear a lot of activity because it starts and after a very long time, I can really use it.  I would like to know what process or applications start automatically and then determine which ones to move away and how.

    If you were to Google something like:

    XP boot manager

    You will get hits with links to managers of free starter like this simple:

    http://www.MLIN.NET/StartupCPL.shtml

    Another popular and free tool with a built-in startup manager (and other interesting things) are CCleaner which you can download here:
    http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

    CCleaner allows you to manage most of the startup items and also do some other operations oriented cleaning.  Some people will you recommend is not to use the registry functions in CCleaner to avoid these features for now.  I have no problem with it for me, but sometimes it's a contentious issue, I prefer to avoid as much as possible!

    You can uninstall CCleaner later if you don't like it.

    You can disable the startup items, see how things look and if you want - you just delete them (or leave it off).

    After launch of CCleaner and see what startup items you can disable/remove, if you are still not sure of your startup items, follow these steps:

    Run CCleaner and choose Tools, boot and bottom right, click on the button "Save to text file" to save the startup information in a text - something like startup.txt file

    Save the boot information text file on your desktop (or somewhere you can find it) open the text file with an editor (Notepad or WordPad), select all (Ctrl-A), copy text, all the text selected in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl + V) the contents of the startup list to come back here in your next reply and maybe someone can tell you another thing to consider.

    A more revealing startup Analyzer is Autoruns which will allow the manipulation of all sectors of boot and does not actually install anything:
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    I have zero startup items on my computer, so none of this is important to me!

  • How can I determine which commands are associated with private 2-14

    I don't want to create command authorization sets just used a private level. I can't determine what commands are assigned to what level priv?

    By default, there are three levels of command on the router:

    privilege level 0 — includes orders to disable, enable, exit, help and logout.

    privilege level 1 - Normal level on Telnet; includes all commands on the router user level > prompt.

    privilege level 15 - includes all orders enable-level at the router prompt #.

    Orders at level 2-14 are empty by default, BUT you can always access all orders at your level and below, so if you are level 4 you have access to the commands at levels 0 and 1

  • Can I install an ssd and its system of MacBook Pro mid-2010 on a Mac Pro mid 2009

    Hello

    My MacBook Pro just died yesterday (logic board) and I want to install the SSD with the system on a Mac Pro.

    I just ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine.

    I wonder if I can boot directly from this SSD or if I do the previous setting in the system.

    Given that the Mac is able to run the latest version of Mac OS X, and you want to move the SSD for older Mac rather than new, it should work. I guess that saying you 'ordered a case to install the ssd drive in the machine' you mean connecting via USB rather than internally, which would be a great test.

    If it works, I would say running the combo for OS update comes on the SSD once it is installed in the older Mac.
