Adata sp900 sdd 128-GB ssd, optibay optical drive to replace superdrive, and 16 GB upgrade for macbook pro mid 2012.

Hello everyone,
Thank you in advanced for all of the support.  This is my first post to the communities.  I just bought a 2.9 GHz core 17 processor MacBook pro mid 2012 13" with 8 GB of RAM and I am in the process of upgrading it.  When I bought the MacBook pro originally, I was told that I would never mac out the performance because I do not do a lot of photo/video editing.  This is true, but I am an academic researcher and tend to multitask often, having 20+ safari tabs open, SPSS (a statistical program), full screen mail app, full screen calendar app, and preview, iTunes open all at the same time.  I often get slow performance and error messages that state low memory.  This is why I am interested in upgrading the laptop.  I am getting ready to go to medical school and I want to have a powerful laptop.  I also want to future proof because I plan on having a dual boot system to mac OS and windows OS.
Because I know I will be maxing out the performance of the computer, I want to take full advantage of upgrades, especially now because the cost of the components is reasonable at the moment.  The following are the proposed upgrades:
1.  Upgrade my current 8-GB ram (2x4-GB) with 16-GB ram (2x8-GB).  I plan on using crucial RAM.
Crucial 16-GB Ram: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1
2.  Replace my optical drive with a hard drive.  I will place a SSD into my current hard drive position and then install my current HDD into the optical drive bay with the optibay optical drive caddy.  I am doing this because I plan to use the SSD as the boot drive and my current HDD as my backup and files drive.  I am putting the SDD into the HDD because I have read it is better to place it in this bay for performance.  I will put the other HDD in the optical drive because the performance of that one will not be as important.
Adata SSD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1
Optibay Optical Drive Caddy: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058AH2US/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=I3GI8MGWAKXY79
My questions:
1.  Is the listed RAM appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
2.  Is the listed SSD appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
3.  Is the listed Optical Drive Caddy appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
4.  Is there still a firmware problem that does not allow for SATA 3 (6Gb/s) support in the optical drive?
5.  Would it be easier to format the new SSD outside of the MacBook using a SATA to USB adapter?
6.  Does working on any of the listed components void my AppleCare (I plan on keeping all of the original components so I can replace them, if I ever need to see apple support)?
7.  What is the best way to put Mavericks onto the SSD to make this my boot drive?
8.  What is the best way to make all of my files remain on the HDD, but link to the SSD with the operating system?
9.  Has anyone ever successfully upgraded to 16-GB RAM and used their optical drive for a secondary hard drive?
10.  Is there any miscellaneous advice for this project?
Please feel free to give partial answers.  I know this was a lot of information, but I wanted to be efficient in my post.  I am very appreciative of everyone who will contribute. 
Thank you!

16 GB of RAM is the best you can do.
The optibay HD will null  and void your warranty.

  • SSD Upgrade MacBook Pro Mid 2012 (Model: 9,2)

    Hey guys!
    Well as some of you might already have read, I will upgrade the RAM of my MacBook Pro, and since I decided to do this, I tought that why maybe not do the SSD as well. I want to know which is the best option for an High Quality SSD for my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 (Intel Core i5 2.5 MHz, 4GB RAM (upgrading to 16GB). I've read that Crucial, but I want an SSD with more than 512 GB which is the amount my Mac came with in the default HD.
    Thanks!
    Later.

    OWC offers a 960GB SSD with top reliability and storage capacity:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/SSD/Mercury_Electra_3G_Solid_Sta te
    For a little less, Crucial has a reliable SSD available:

    Personally, I chose Crucial.

    SSD is brand new..out of the box never use it before... is working totally fine on my external enclosure.
    Great. Then problems with the SDD itself are far less likely.
    Yosemite installs fine and I can run normally.
    Good. then your Yosemite Installer is not damaged, and your SSD is probably good.
    As soon as I put it into the internal the Yosemite install just never finishes, time keeps restarting.
    I can see the SSD i can copy files but I can't install Yosemite.  what do think I can do??
    Then there is a problem with that setup. If you have installed onto it as an external, it is unlikely to be a Drive format problem. But to give yourself the best possible outcomes, use Disk Utility to erase the SSD before the Install.
    Be methodical. Use a process of elimination. What can you trust, and what are you not sure of?
    It still could be a marginal Drive cable. ifixit and other sellers can sell you a new cable for very little money.

    Hi, i want to upgrade my Ram, Hard Disk and Battery of Macbook pro 2010 Model with i7 processor and 15" display.
    My current configuration:
    Ram: 2GB + 2GB (original with mbp purchase)

    SSD:Minimum 128 Gb ( what to do with previous 500 GB

    I ignored the (with price) part. Sorry.
    Crucial m4 512GB SSD - from Amazon - $389.99.

  • Samsung SSD 840EVO not booting from macbook pro mid 2012 after cloning

    Hello there,
    I guess i'm so stuck with the SSD that i have purchased.
    Here is the details:
    SSD - Samsung SSD 840 Evo 250GB
    MacBook Pro - 13-inch, Mid 2012
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,2
    Processor  2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Boot ROM Version: MBP91.00D3.B08
    SMC Version (system): 2.2f44
    I was running with the factory HDD (toshiba 500gb) and thought of replacing it with an SSD . Tried a clean installation of mavericks at first using Bootable USB drive having mavericks. So i went on and installed the ssd replacing the HDD i had and went on to boot up from the USB, prior the installtion i tired to partition it first with single partition MAC os extended journaled with GUID table. But then it did partition but after that it says trying to reinitialize the drive and it never came back although i tried more than five times. So then i went back to my HDD and tired cloning it to SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner, but even for that i had to do the partitioning which failed. Finally i had to go and return back that peice and they gave me another one convincing me that it might a defective peice.
    Now, with the second one, at first i booted up my HDD normally and connected the new SSD the USB/sata converter and i successfully partitioned and using carbon copy cloner, i have cloned as well. Now to make sure if its all ok, before replacing the HDD in the main compartment, i just selected the startup disk as the new SSD and restarted the system... it booted up fine like a cheetah... was all gud... i thought everything is pretty fine. Then ofcourse i went ahead and replaced the HDD and powered up the system again, but then it's not booting up... it gives you that folder with ? mark and that's all...
    And then i tried some other ways too... i even checked the firmware versions and i guess they are upto date as well. I just dont get the reason why it's not working.
    Please help me.

  • Issues with MacBook Pro mid 2012 and SSD data 3

    I installed a Samsung SSD in my macbook pro model A1278, it work very well since yesterday; maverick 10.9.2 run very very slow and it have a lot of lag. And so ai provide to reinstall the native HDD and it run very well. I decided to buy another SSD of  OCZ, the previous was Samsung 830, and the system didn't recognise the ssd, but if i  link it with usb it work. Anyone have the same problem?

    Thank you for your reply :),
    I verified multiple times to ensure that the MBP-R and the ATV2 were connected to the same wifi. That's all that would be required with my network set up since there are no configured sub-networks. All of the devices connected can see each-other. I also verified this by checking in the router. Sure enough, the ATV2 is listed with all of the other devices.
    There were other problems related to Internet content with the ATV2 when I shipped it in for repairs under warranty. It was constantly disconnecting and reconnecting, and no matter what, it wouldn't remember any settings. I noticed these defects after I asked this question. I suspect that, because there has been some horrible weather and lots of power surges here,  that it became damaged from a surge. This was not plugged into a surge protector like everything else, so I brought that on upon myself unfortunately.

  • Whats the best ssd drive to get for a macbook pro mid 2012 model

  • As of 2015: Best SSD for 9,2 Macbook Pro (mid-2012 non Retina)

    Hi All, this is my first post in the community, so I apologize ahead of time if it is evident in my query.
    I currently purchased a Mid-2012 Macbook Pro Non Retina. Model ID: MacBookPro9,2.(i7, 2.9 GHz)
    My question is: as of today (April 2015) what is the best SSD available (around 500GB in size) for my specific laptop? I've searched quite a few communities and just around Google and have found numerous options that people swear by and the same options that people swear against. What's been difficult is a lot of the posts were created much earlier on (which is expected for a MBP from 2012). I have read good (and bad) things about Samsung 840, 850 pro, 850 evo; as well as hearing good things about Crucial's M4, Mx100, Mx200. My preference is to spend approximately $200 for a 500GB unless there is clear evidence that I need to splurge on an OWC Mercury Extreme Pro because the Samsung/Crucial drives will just cause me trouble.
    If anyone can lead me to the SSD's that Apple themselves use, I would be much appreciative. As of now, I'm not even sure which Controller they utilize (Marvell?) and if they support TRIM. Any information to shed some light on this would be great as a lot of my knowledge has purely been from the articles I've been reading in the past few days.
    I know this question has been asked over and over again; but again, I am asking it to try and find the best SSD as of late.
    Thanks ahead of time!

    "I thought the non Retina MBPs were still connected via a SATA connection. "
    That is correct and that is why I was recommending that people buy that 2012 MBP non Retina that Apple was selling until just recently. Having the SATA connection while slower than PCIe allowed you more flexibility in purchasing upgraded drives.
    "I currently purchased a Mid-2012 Macbook Pro Non Retina"
    So you bought one of these? Be aware that if you modify the laptop in any way your warranty will be void unless the work is done by an Apple approved tech if Apple becomes aware of it.
    That said you could put a 480 SSD from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_6G/
    That can be had for $229 currently.
    I'd be wary of installing a Samsung in there because of problems like this:
    Samsung 850 EVO in Early '11 MBP
    A lot of people are running that drive just fine but now and then....
    I've installed 6 OWC SSDs in various Macs and have had 0 problems and 0 hassles formatting and installing them.

  • Best SSD upgrade for macbook pro 2011 13"???

    Hello all, I have a early 2011 macbook pro with 8gb ram, my question is what is the best ssd to upgrade the hdd from, I know the samsung 830 series is good and is the preferred choice for some people, and the crucial m4 is a good choice too, but has anybody had any hands on experience with these drives and any problems with firmware, lockups etc? I also know about the Intel drives too they are some of the most relaibe,  I want it to be as trouble free as possible haha !

    My question is that i was thinking about upgrading my my hadrive to an ssd, im not sure how to go about it, also my my memory to 16gb. any suggestions on what hardware i can use in my computer?

    Go to the OWC website.  Any of these SATA drives will be compatible with your MBP.  Other options can be found with other vendors, but this is a good place to start;;

    16 GB RAM is the maximum that your MBP will accept.

  • Activar TRIM para SSD en macbook pro mid 2012

  • SSD for Macbook Pro 2012

    What is the most compatible SSD 256 GB for Macbook Pro Mid-2012 originally installed with a 750-5600rpm hdd?

    That is just nonsense. PC Centric vendors carry the same SSDs that work in all computers, Mac-Win PC-Linux PC.
    No new drive made to be put inside a computer come specifically for Mac or Windows or Linux for that matter. They are RAW drives and need to be partitioned and formatted for the type of computer they are being install into and the OS that hardware will be running.
    So to the OP buy whatever floats your boat from any computer parts reseller you choose to deal with. Without worry if it will work in your Mac computer, it will. Some are better than other, some are faster than others and some are much mopre expensive that other for no good reason.
    As to Firmware updates Mr Galt has it right that some SSD manufacturers don't have Mac OS X specific update software. But that is not a problem if you own a PC or know someone that does own a PC. The firmware can be updated using a PC and then put back in your Mac. If you buy a model that has been on the market for a period of time the Firmware is more then likely already at it most current level.

    Purchase one from OWC / MacSales. Avoid PC-centric vendors.
    Many SSDs will require firmware for Mavericks compatibility and not all vendors offer an installer that will work on a Mac.

  • Can my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a handle a SSD and how do I make the switch. Can I do a clean install of Snow Leopard from an original cd

    Here is my problem, I want to upgrade my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a to an Solid State Drive, a Crucial m4 256 gb, I want to know if the macbook will be able to handle it and how do I do the switch. also once I install the drive will I be able to boot from my Snow Leoard original cd and do a clean install. Thank you

    Coming from a 5,400 RPM drive that's nearly filled up, fragmented and deoptimized to a fresh install of OS X on a SSD will of course be a improvement.
    However fresh installing OS X on a new 5,400 RPM will also see a improvement, boot up in 30 seconds.
    A fresh install of OS X on a new 7,200 RPM drive will also see a improvement, boot up in 25 seconds.
    A fresh install of OS X on a new SSD will see the best improvement, boot up in 20 seconds on fast SATA connections.
    OS X still requires time to setup and that takes about 20 seconds despite how fast your boot drive is, that's why sleep was created.
    Things to consider: The higher cost of a SSD, the limiting capacity (hard drives hold way more up), the SATA I speed limitations (slows up on large file transfers), the difficulty to scrub the SSD of unwanted data (like you can a hard drive), and it's limited write capability. Also the smaller SSD's are faster than the larger ones.
    SSD's are shock proof, which is their slight advantage over hard drives.
    I see a 120GB SSD in a SATA I machine as being a waste, it's too small of a storage space (500GB+ is ideal), the SATA I connection is slow and other factors that make a 7,200 RPM drive a better option in that machine.
    One can get a 750 GB 7,200 RPM hard drive for about the same price and still maximize their boot time in the process, also being able to scrub their drive of unwanted data easily.
    SSD's can't be scrubbed, one has to fill 50% of the remaining space with many, very small files to overwrite the free space, then do another 50% again to defeat the Trim/wear leveling as SSD's write to less used location each time. If one fills a OS X boot drive up completely, it won't function or won't boot up.
    If you do this fill routine regularly with software, then you prematurely wear out the SSD as it has limited writes. Why Disk Utility doesn't offer zero or 7x erase for SSD's.
    If your in the 10% of Internet traffic that's going to adult sites, then the ability to scrub the caches and storage drive of embarrassing unwanted data is a necessity. Especially in the light of software and hardware that can read the SSD of deleted data.
    Trick links and redirects on poisoned sites can firebomb your Mac with some pretty bad pictures and your hidden caches as well, especially if you don't like to pay.
    IT personal have at their disposal free open source forensic software that basically aggregates all the past behavior done on the machine into a nice, easy to view format with times, dates and when and where content was downloaded from.
    Since one has to give up their password for repair folks to recover data and fix the machine...
    I think a SSD is less of a benefit over a 7,200 hard drive for that particular model of Mac for a mere few seconds faster boot time.

  • Can intel 520 series SSD be installed in macbook pro mid 2009

    This is some of the information for the 180g SSD I want to replace my HD in my 13" macbook pro mid 2009
    25nm NAND Flash Memory
    2.5” form factor
    SATA 6.0 Gb/s performance

      Negotiated Link Speed:          1.5 Gigabit
      Description:          AHCI Version 1.20 Supported
    I know that the SATA 6.0 will be backwards compatible with my connection, but I was wondering if I am going to hit any problems. I am going to do a full time machine backup so I can have everything cloned onto the SSD, but want to know before I buy the SSD

    Recently installed same type of SSD (Intel 520 120GB) in our 2010 Macbook (white) and runs just as well as its big bro. No problems at all. Storage isn't an issue since most stuff's in the cloud these days and we carry large files around on a USB stick. Way to go!
