Updated MBP 2010 to SSD

I put my MBP 2010 to an evo to Samsung 850 250 GB SSD.

I agree with iTunes Match and photos apple and all my music and photos are in the cloud.

what I was wondering if I change the disc, place El Capitan on a USB key and do a boot up from the new drive

as a drive clean with only the applications on that system and then migrate only the files and applications to an external backup through

, migration assistant am I forgetting to do something?

You can basically do what you describe, but don't forget to format the SSD for Mac OS extended (journaled).

Personally I format the SSD and then clone the old information from player to another or use Time machine.

I would add that Samsung Evo 850 SSDs have been problematic for some users.  There has been a number of questions on these forums.  Note that Samsung does not Mac compatibility for the Evo 850 on their Web site.

Ciao.

  • Conversion HARD SSD drive on MBP 2010, need to program

    I have a 17 "middle MBP 2010 and in the process of conversion of SSD HARD drive.  I use the latest version of Mac OS X.  What program is recommended to mirror, for the SSD HARD drive image before installing? Or should I simply to reinstall all the programs instead, and then add the data?  A problem, I think that I have on this last approach is that I have many books in iBooks who came not through iTunes, and I see no way to export the data.  Are there times or saving strategies that I use in this business, the question of iBooks and the whole process of frustration?

    To install an SSD in a MBP is fundamentally no different from a HARD classic disc.  Format the SSD drive in disk utility > erase to Mac OS extended (journaled) and then copy the HDD to the SSD.  I recommend to use Carbon Copy Cloner for data transfer.  It copies everything. including the OSX and the recovery partition.

  • I think that I have on my MBP 2010 mid thunderous

    Hi all.

    I think I have thunder-stirke on my MBP 2010 Middle even with a new disk it gets damaged soon as I installed it.

    I also have a heat excessive upper right (lower case), a vibrant hum in waves in the upper right (all lowercase) and the sounds of rattling lower trackpad.

    I moved the only external drive and everything works fine.

    Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

    p. s.

    A new MBP is out of the question that I'm on a retirement budget social security now.

    Take a look at this thread, I think that it covers many thunderous better than me.

    Re: thunderous-2 after having been infected still infected?

    Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

    If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

    Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

    Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

  • Update the iMac 21.5 mid 2010 "with SSD

    Hi - I am interested in upgrading my iMac 21.5 mid 2010 "with an internal SSD. Have been reading the posts on the subject and I wanted to clarify a few points. As I understand it, there is not a spare drive Bay, so my options are to replace the existing drive, or replace the optical drive.

    My questions are:

    (1) is there a difference in meaning in performance in both options?

    (2) the location of the optical drive is a stable position (physically) to put a SSD?

    (3) if it is placed in the location of the optical drive, I'll be able to boot from the SSD drive?

    (4) I read that if you replace the hard drive, there is also a problem with a heat sensor that fans end up running a full speed, and you must download a software workaround solution, or get a special thermal sensor OWC. This applies also to put it in the optical Bay? Why or why not, and if not, is the drive always properly cooled? Not sure I quite understand that part.

    Thanks for any help,

    David

    I added an SSD for my iMac 2011. It has an extra SATA port, so I could leave the optical drive in place and put the SSD in behind it, while keeping the original HARD disk too.

    I think that 2010 models do not have this port, but the other World Computing would be able to confirm this on their site based on the available kits.

    1. you won't see any difference in performance in both positions. Note, the 2010 iMac uses ports SATA 3 G, so if you use a 6G SSD, it will only run at 3G speeds. Willl you always get a huge performance on the old HDD even gain at this slower speed.

    2. Yes, to use the available kits

    3. Yes the installer once you define which drive you want to boot from in system preferences > startup

    4. I think it's only valid for 2011 models, but still OWC kits will show if you need the adaptor cable. It does not apply in the optical drive. Cooling still works correctly if you use the kits to correct or additional software.

    Edit: just check out OWC, it seems that the thermal cable adapter is required for this model

    Edit 2: If you have never worked on electronics, I strongly suggest that you do not open the iMac yourself. If it is not particularly difficult if you are experienced, it is very easy to break something if you do not have this experience.

  • 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!

    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.

  • stop working on MBP mid2012 Kingston ssd

    I installed an internal 480 GB SSD Kingston (uv300) the MPB 2012, erased/formatted it and installed OSX El Capitan.

    On the second day of installation OSX stoped working. I start MPB with an external USB drive with install OSX and run disk utility.

    I could see the SSD on disk utility, but the Erase button is not active.

    Reading some forums of discussions, I tried several commands on the Terminal (diskutil, fsck_hfs, etc.), but failed to fixing whathever spent. My idea was to format/erase the disk and reinstalling the os x El Capitan.

    I installed back the HD original Toshiba and connect to the USB port of the Kingston SSD, with a SATA/USB converter.

    Nothing has changed to disk utility. I was not able to delete or install OSX, even using the commands from the Terminal.

    The commands I ran and the messages are in the images on the link https://oicloud.com.br/link/4c0ed801-137c-400a-8a9e-5ad047cf40d5/MBP%20SSD%20Pro blem%20resized/ . I don't really know what to do more.

    I have starte to think it might be a problem with the hardware SDS...

    Thanks for any help.

    Assuming you have an OS x installed on the Kingston SSD, it will start the MBP when connected externally via USB?  If so, the internal SATA cable should probably be replaced.

    Ciao.

  • Portege Z30A - firmware update available for PM851 SSD?

    Someone (else) have a SSD PM851 in their Toshiba Z30A? (Windows 'Device Manager' will show only).

    It has come to my attention that these drives have a serious flaw in their firmware that affect performance.
    Google search for 'firmware 840 EVO performance' to find the patches for the commercial version of the Samsung.

    Y at - it for the PM851 SSD firmware update?

    My Toshiba Z30A delivered with such an SSD.

    I've updated my machine with 840 EVO and I ve installed S... Software Wizard so I was informed about the latest firmware update and I ve installed.
    I ve checked manufacturer s page to support SSDS but I didn t find anything for PM851 SSD so I think that the firmware update is currently not available.

  • someone just told me that all the retina 2012 and new mbp "are discs SSD. is that correct?

    someone told me that the retina of the mbp all 2012 and later are SSDS. is that correct?

    Yes, it's true.  Systems of the retina are thinner, lighter.  No optical drive and the RAM is soldered to the logic board.  Not designed to be opened by ordinary users like you and me... opening can cancel the warranty and Apple to give an excuse to refuse any repairs.

    The SSD in the systems of the retina are focused on the map (search for mSATA and M2 format SSD.  Apple uses a special interface protocol for its SSD-card so you can't buy just everything-old-drive in off the shelf to use for the upgrade.

  • HP DM3: updated HP DM3 1140ez SSD

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my storage in Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB. Utility for the identification of the materials here is a log made by CPU-Z . Someone can tell me if the mentioned SSD would work with my setup (HP 142F motherboard with Intel GS45, BIOS F.19 chipset) or is there a better alternative? Also, what size the effect on the speed of boot and application loading would, because my machine is a little old now?

    Thank you!

    Aljaz

    Here is the service manual and page 4-9 shows the replacement of the hard disk:

    Manual

    Your material is a bit old but truly represents the first generation of laptops that could effectively use the SSD. The chipset no native ahci or SATA true and which is necessary for effective functioning SSD. Windows 7 or above will be implemented in the FILLING and otherwise effectively use the SSD without complicated settings. So for less than $100 for the concert of 256 Samsung 850 Evo, I would say you can do the update level and very important notice, even amazing improvements at boot time and the time of access for applications.
