MacBook Pro upgrade to SSD HARD drive

I own a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) with 500 GB HARD drive and want to update on the HARD drive. I want it to start as a new laptop after recovery. I don't want to back up my data.

So, if I insert my new Samsung 850 EVO (250GB) replace my mac HARD drive, I'll be able to install OS X on the new disk hard Internet of recovery?

Yes from the internet recovery (option command R), you can access the disk utility to format the new hard drive.  Recovery of the Internet will offer the OS X that originally shipped with your Mac from 2012. You then spend here.

The options are to make a bootable installation before hand.

    Hi vishesh97,

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

    We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

  • 5 years - super fast machine with a SSD hard drive!

    My laptop: Dell Studio, 2.5 Ghz, 4 GB RAM double heart + SSD hard drive

    WOW... my machine is super fast!
    Start the system and be usable... about 10 or so seconds
    Ooh... Wow!
    This beats my Macbook Pro Core i7 8 GB of RAM 2012 (quadruple-heart I think)
    Closure is a bit boring - take 20 or so seconds... :(
    (OK, in the past, closure used to take a loooong time)

    I was wondering: WHY?
    What is the SSD? What is Windows 8 + SSD?
    Why is it so quickly!
    I would add that I have rebuild my machine EVERY 30 days (still have the latest patches and antivirus before using)
    Thank you

  • iMac mid-2010 for one SSD HARD drive replacement

    Hello

    After reflection, (mainly in the meantime my principalement en attendant mon iMac iMac starts!), I decided to replace the HDD with a SSD. After having done some research and I watch YouTube videos, I'm not sure if I have bought the right tools for the job. Could someone please help me and let me know if I'm not on the right track here.

    The iMac in question is a model 27 "2010.

    Here's what I have on order:

    I also ordered suction cups and relevant screwdrivers.

    I intend to completely remove the current HD and its replacement by the new SSD. Am I right assuming that I will just remove current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the one OWC? I'm not 100% on this one.

    Cheers in advance

    Ian

    Yes, you just remove the thermal sensor and place the OWC in line sensor (the sticker pad can be placed on the support of 2, 5-2, 5 (as the SSD will not have a lot of heat).  The longer a cable must be re-attached the logic board.

    The only suggestion I have would be - it probably need not SATA cables for this-> upgrade SSD HARD drive, thermal line sensor is long enough - in fact, too long that I had to press them to be shaped in the iMac.  Unless you plan to add other SSD in the system, since the iMac 2010 with SATA 2 (3 GB/s speed).

    Good luck

  • MacBook pro cannot detect ANY hard disk

    Greetings,

    I have a 13 macbook pro (mid-2012 a1278) inches and when he start shows the folder with the question mark. I think that bad hard drive, so I get a new drive, drop it in and then try to start a recovery from the internet.

    After connecting to the internet and download the recovery image, I load disk utility, and he does not see the new hard drive. Am I a bad disc, I wonder?

    So I drop the old drive in a hard disk enclosure and connect to an another macbook, and that is, I can see all the files. I put the new drive in the caddy and it can detect and partition/format the new drive.

    Thus, the macbook can not see any hard drive.

    This seems to be functional in the case, as I can load the internet recovery image and exploit all the basic functions (Restore disk, time machine, access to the network, keyboard and mouse, etc.)

    It will not just to see the hard drive.

    I've never had a hard disk controller macbook to go ahead without him taking the rest of the macbook with her. Am I missing something?

    Your MBP may very well have a bad hard drive cable.

  • HDX18: the upgrade of my hard drive

    I have a portable hdx18 I want to improve a few things on.  I thougt go to a SSD hard drive but do not know what is compatible with my laptop.  I've seen drives that specify the SATA, SATA II and SATA III.  Can you please help?

    On another note, I also want to upgrade the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB.  I've seen some people say that their HDX18 can take memory DDR3.  Is this fair?

    Thank you, Henry

    The MX100 has generated some problems here, where HP laptops will not detect the SSD. So I would say on something other than this one. The model number of the laptop is usually printed on the bottom or in the battery bay.

  • Envy 17 t-j000 caddy tray support SSD hard drive

    So, I have an ENVY 17 t-j000 Quad Edition on order. Only ordered with 1 HDD that I intend who move to the secondary place and put an SSD to the main square.

    According to the manual online, it seems that readers of screw in a shopping cart / tray / support any and in need of an adapter for the connector.

    Because I bought it with only 1 car. Does this mean he won't the tray with the adapter to install a 2nd drive?

    And if so, where can I get this caddy and connector adapter? I really hope that it comes with it as I made it very clear on the phone I buy with 1 only drive and add a 2nd drive on my own.

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?type=prod&SearchText=E0K82UA

    I spend 1 hour on the phone and bounced between 3 people, each had to wait on hold for as a new call. No one could help me. They finally told me to call the HP parts store, which of course is now closed. And is only open MF 7 a - 7 p CST. 1-800-227-8164

    The link above is for the model J000 Quad Edition.

    I think that I need the Kit material of HARD drive and possibly the screws indicated in the same section. Although I do not know why the screws would not be included in the "Kit".

    720237-001 HDD HARDWARE KIT $30,40
    720260-001 SCREW $14.16

    Wow, if I really need the screws too, it's a crazy price for screws. $30 is also a crazy price for a cable and rubber.

    What makes me more upset that I'm going to make a huge deal is that I explicitly said their phone order when the laptop custom configured, that I was going to add a SSD drive myself.

    They should have told me that the system is in need of these parts. For so much money, I would spend the $60 (less the discount coupon) to upgrade to dual hard drives. Which would give me these pieces with two pre-installed drives. And then I would have just replaced one with a SSD and sold new HARD drive on ebay or on site. Easily covering the cost of the upgrade of the disk. And I wouldn't have to wait to get parts or went through all that effort to source a part that must be included with the laptop. What is the point of the laptop having 2-Bay disk for the upgrade if it does not come with the owners parts be used?

    Yet once, very upset that this issue has not been addressed when I talked to 2 different people when ordering my custom laptop. I spent a lot of effort in pre-sales questions to ensure he had 2 bays for hard drives to add an SSD.

    And why in the world these pieces about 10 times more than they should? This is a new laptop. It's not as if these parts are for cell old abandoned.

  • Pavilion G-6 2209au: Pavilion G - 6 2209au exchange for SSD HARD drive

    Hello I have this have upgraded with 6 GB ram and now want to replace the disc for one SSD HARD drive, I read in the forms some how you need to change the bios when you do so, what measures are necessary for the ssd to function? I don't like about backing up files, I'll use as an external HARD drive. Also I have the apu a4 4300 m and would like to get 10 4600 m cpu is this hard to replace or should I pay someone? Thanks for the support

    That's what you have:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03551667

    It is the repair:

    Manual

    From the outset I see that you only have 2 GB of RAM. Very easy and inexpensive to spend at least 4 GB. See page 46.

    The motherboard is the motherboard. There is no upgrade available. However, you have the CPU AMD A4 and you might fall into a 10 - 4600M. See page 83. It would be a major update and only would no treatment faster, but would provide a slightly better video chip since it is a "APU" with processor and video on the same chip.

    Finally, you can exchange the mechanical drive to a SSD drive. The upgrade of the speed would be very noticeable.

    That @banhien meant, however, the cost of this can equal or exceed a new laptop. and almost certainly will if you need to pay a technician to do it. The first update I is the RAM, then the SSD and then the last would be the CPU. If you need any help post more come back.

  • External SSD hard drive not detected by Airport Extreme/Time Capsule

    Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

    Framework

    -J' bought a 1 TB Samsung SSD 840 EVO internal media.

    -He is locked in a case of badges and used as an external hard drive

    -J' have an Airport Extreme (5th generation)

    -J' have a Time Capsule (4th Gen)

    -My MBP detects the SSD external hard drive when it is connected to the USB port and works fine

    Problem

    -I connect the external SSD hard drive to the USB port on both TCapsule and AExtreme, but the HD is not detected directly (USD and with powered hub of USD)

    -HD was formatted as OS x journaled Extended

    -J' tried smb and cifs via 'connect to server', but does not work.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Juan

    Unfortuantely, Apple did not update the firmware on the USB key (it is still 2.0) port on their routers for a number of years.  As a result, new USB 3.0 drives may or may not work with airports.

    Yes, we know that USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 in theory, but theory does not always work in practice.

    If your drive is formatted as Mac OS extended (journaled)... also called HFS +... .and you have tried the drive with and without a USB hub powered and the reader will not be displayed with you check using the AirPort Utility disks tab... then you have one of a number of readers who do not work with routers from the airport.

    I just checked a new LaCie USB 3.0 drive I have here. It works perfectly with a Mac, but it appears not at all when I connect it to the USB port or a powered new AirPort Extreme or new Time Capsule directly, or by using a USB hub.
