Best Internal Hard Drive Update for Macbook Pro 13" early 2011?

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone could give me their opinon as to what might be the best hard drive to update on for a Macbook Pro 13" early 2011 model. My budget is about $100, and i'm looking to increase the size of my current hard drive (which is a 320gb hard drive). I know that SSD are out of my budget range as anything even reasonably priced only gives me about 200+ gb of memory. I'm wondering if anyone has had any particular experience with the Seagate 1TB solid state hybrid drive (found here: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Solid-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ). It boasts SSD-like speeds at a fraction of the cost, and its right around my budget, but perhaps its too good to be true? I saw the other thread about this hard drive question, but it didn't seem like anyone had any personal experience with it.
Anyways, just wondering if this one here is a truly a good deal, or if anyone has any better suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
********P.S. Just as a side note, I'm wanting to increase the storage on my computer because i'm wanting to use bootcamp to install windows, and I want an ample amount of space to store movies, games, pictures and music. Not sure if this is even relevant, but i'm wanting to start doing a little bit of beginners programming stuff, so i want to make sure that i'll have enough empty space on my hard drive to do whatever it is i need to do. As it is, I've got about 62gb in movies, 81gb in photos, 41gb in music and 14gb in apps.....I'm really pushing the limits of my storage......*****************

I have two of those Seagate SSHDs, using one as the internal drive in my primary MBP.  Boot and shutoff times are dramatically less than before (using 7200 rpm HGST HDDs).  In other respects, I have no complaints regarding the drive performance.  I can recommend them based on my limited experience (~3 months).  The $99 price does look very attractive.
Note that when you install a HDD of larger capacity in a MBP, it should be reflected in your backup strategy.  Do you have a backup drive to accommodate the additional data that you will be able to store on the new internal HDD?
Ciao.

  • What is the "best" internal hard drive compatible with macbook pro 13.3" product number: MD101LL/A  that does not damage OS?

    I'm looking for an upgrade in space ( 750gb - 1 TB) and performance on the hard drive, but I have read in many forums that many "compatible" hard drives may damage the OS. I plan on installing bootcampt with Windows 7 and the latest Mac OS. I'm wondering if anyone has updated their HD and if they've experienced any problems with it, or if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you for your advice in advance!

  • I've lost the use of Appleworks in 10.9.2. Is it possible to partition the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro and install an older Mac OS (10.6.8) on the second partition with OS 10.9.2 on the other?

    I've lost the use of Appleworks by upgrading to 10.9.2.
    Is it possible to partition the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro and install an older Mac OS (10.6.8) on the second partition with OS 10.9.2 on the other? I'd like to be able to boot to the older OS when I need Appleworks and  few other applications that aren't available on OS 10.9.2.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello again, WZZZ,
    Here's an update. I was successful in creating two partitions on my internal drive, and in installing OS 10.6.6 on the second partition, as per your guidence. I now have it up to 10.6.8 with all the security updates and AppleWorks. A great thing.
    Some thoughts:
    • The partitioning had one hitch; it failed at first. But once I "repaired" the disc with Disc Utility the partitioning went thru.
    • The partitioning took a long time in 'resizing the partition.' A few hours I think it was. Lots of progress bar watching.
    • If I had it to do again, I'd size the two partitions differently. My original data was occupying about 230 Gb of the 320 Gb disc. I made the new partitions share the space, about 230 and 75Gb. That left very little available space for the main disc. I ought to have put some breathing room in there. As it is, it's an incentive to clean up all those files, especially all those iTunes files. I now have about 10% of available space there and mean to continue deleting.
    So, all in all a good project that got me where I wanted to go. Thank you for your help.
    Appreciatively,
    wallah

  • HT204370 I have changed my internal hard drive on my macbook pro. I have put old hard drive into a capsule and have this plugged into my laptop. I can't find the movies on my old hard drive now? Any idea how I can move them to iTunes again? cloud taking H

    I have just changed my internal Hard drive on my MacBook pro. I had recently downloaded some movies on iTunes which I want to put into my iTunes library on my new internal hard drive. I have put my old internal hard drive into an external capsule but when I open the icon of the hard drive from the desktop I can't find my movies.
    At the moment I have the new movies downloading again from the cloud but it is literally taking hours for even one movie to load.
    When I changed the internal hard drive I restored my info from my old external hard drive which hadn't been backed up in a month and hence does not have my latest movies...
    I am concerned that I might go over my internet usage limit (flatmate is refusing to change to unlimited package!!!!) by downloading all the movies again from the cloud never mind how long it is taking...
    Is there any way to restore all my info and media from the old internal Hard drive in the capsule as well as from the external hard drive?

    It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
             button.
         2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
         3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
         4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
             to the Destination entry field.
         5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

  • Managing two internal hard drives in a Macbook Pro

    Upon reaching the storage limit of my internal 7200RPM 750GB SSHD, I replaced the optical drive with a 5400RPM 1TB SSHD.
    The Macbook Pro in question is the top end early 2011 15" model running Yosemite.
    The 750GB drive is where the user folder, applications, etc are stored.
    The 1TB is where I store my music, photos and movies along with some other miscellaneous things.
    I have noticed a significant decrease in battery performance since installing the second drive. I was expecting some decrease but not to the extent that I have experienced.
    Itunes, Lightroom and FCPX all seem to work well with the second SSHD.
    What are your experiences with two internal hard drives in your Macbook Pro?
    How do you manage two internal hard drives?
    Aside from replacing the SSHDs with SSDs, what are your thoughts and experiences with running RAID arrays?
    Any performance tips that you can share for getting the most out of my setup (circumstantial and installing SSDs are out of the question for now)?

    Start over. Partition the new drive and install Lion. Activate FileVault. Then restore from your backup.

  • Both Internal hard drives fail on Macbook Pro late-2011

    Both internal hard drives (SSD and HDD) failed on Macbook Pro late-2011.
    Setup: MBP closed with Thunderbolt display attached.
    Problem on HDD-A
    I called Apple Support to log an issue with my MBP2011. The system is made up of 2 drives - SSD (128GB) and HDD with 2 partitions HDD-A and HDD-B(original 750GB).
    HDD-A has LionOSX 10.7 and HDD-B is storage. SSD has LionOSX on it as well. I normally boot HDD-A.
    I was working on HDD-A and the Kernel Panic screen appeared prompting me to shutdown the machine and start it up again.
    I tried to reboot HDD-A and the grey progress bar appeared for a long time. I then forced shutdown and rebooted into SSD.
    I was able to boot from SSD and then I opened Disk Utility to check the drives. I verified the disk for HDD-A and there was an error. I then tried to repair disk and it couldn't repair it. A dialogue said the disk could not be repaired and that data should be backed up.
    HDD-A was not visible in Finder but HDD-B was accessible.
    I verified HDD-B and it was "ok".
    I shutdown, booted from SSD, disk utility HDD-A and the same message occurred.
    I called Apple Support and they advised that I boot from my external HDD which was a clone of HDD-A.
    Solution
    I was successfully able to boot from the Clone HDD-A.
    HDD-A was able to be accessed and I could retrieve the files from HDD-A.
    I copied over the latest files from HDD-A to an external drive.
    Same Problem on SSD
    Boot from SSD, i started working for about 3 hours, with the lid closed, and attached to the ACD.
    Kernel Panic screen happened again on the SSD.
    Couldn't boot boot from either SSD or HDD-A.
    I booted from Cloned HDD-A, Disk Utility verify and repair returned errors on SSD. The same issue had occurred on the second drive.
    Disk Recovery from a boot recovery USB thumb, Disk Utility, erased SSD, verify was ok.
    Tried to install then there was an install error saying that SSD was damaged (large triangle warning icon). Tried 3 times, failed.
    Boot from Recovery Drive HDD-A, downloaded LionOSX.
    Next steps
    Format HDD-A and HDD-B into 2 partitions
    Install LionOSX on HDD A.
    Note:
    I did not do any software updates for about a week before 14.04.2012 and suspect it might be due to the virus.
    I normally work with the lid closed and attached to the ACD, I also suspect that overheating caused both drives to fail. However, I have been using this system with the lid closed for atleast a week. One Kernel Panic screen occured.

    Depending on what you are doing on the computer, how hard you are working the computer, it should not overheat. And if it does it should shut down or get very slow because when it starts to overheat the CPU will be throttled back to a lower Ghz speed and or just shut down so it doesn't cause damage to the CPU. The Kernel Panics are a sign that something else is going on. This could be software or hardware.
    If after wiping the drives and reinstall Lion on the SSD if the system is running OK then the drives are fine, IE they are not bad. There is something else corrupting them. Again this could be hardware or software, but I doubt it is heat. And using the MBP ion clamshell mode should not cause overheating or excessive heating of either of the drives.
    Have you installed iStat Pro or Menu and kept and eye on the temps? If not install iStat Pro and keep and eye on the temps. I bet they do not get above the 150°- 180°F mark which although hot is not overheating.
    Be very careful when calling Apple. Removing the DVD drive and installing a hard drive in that bay could void your warranty. The DVD is not a User Removable part and Apple frowns on doing that. So if you call them do not mention that you have replaced the DVD drive with another HDD.
    Honestly I suspect you have a hardware problem. But the only way to know that is to install just Lion and your basic programs and run the system. Leave out any AV type software, if you are running some. If you don't get any kernel panics thenn install some of your other software, one programm at a time. If with just the OS and basic software you get a kernel panic then it is hardware related and needs to be checked out by Apple. If you do that re-install the DVD and the original HDD with just the OS on it before you take it in.

  • Portable External Hard Drive / Steroids for MacBook Pro

    Hi.  I recently purchased a (Non-Retina display) 13-inch, Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
    Processor: 2.5GHz Intel Corei5
    Memory: 4GB 100 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
    Software: OS X 10.8.2 (12C54)
    I love my new laptop, but am not exactly tech-savvy.  I'm pretty computer illiterate, so I don't exactly know the difference between USB 2.0/3.0 or Firewire 400/800.  I know what I want to do, but I'm not sure if it's possible.  Basically, even though I love my MacBook, I'm curious if I can love it even more and want to know how to max out its potential.  Eventually, I want to:
    A.) install the maximum amount of memory and internal hard drive capacity possible.
    B.) get the largest, fastest, yet PORTABLE, external hard drive possible.  I've got a ton of music in iTunes, and I want to get my huge DVD collection digitalized.  Something in the TB range.  I keep reading mixed reviews on WDs and Apple's Time Capsule.
    Any help will be much appreciated,
    Mike

    Hi Myke,
    If you want to shop for a bigger hard disk or more memory, I recommend you go here: OWC / MacSales
    Their prices are about as good as you're going to find, but more importantly their Mac support is superior, especially if you are not completely confident in knowing exactly what you need to buy. Macs are particular about memory but if you buy from OWC they know what to supply and will guarantee it will work.
    The ultimate upgrade is an internal Solid State Drive but these get expensive in a hurry.
    The Time Capsule is not a portable external hard disk. If you want an external portable HD, shop for one at OWC.
    I have heard mixed reviews on WD also, but the same mixed reviews apply to all consumer grade hard disks these days, without exception. Basically, they are all cheap. Consider them disposable, which means you should always have a backup. Time Machine is included with your MacBook Pro and is as easy to use as plugging in an external hard disk. Time Machine does the rest. Use it! There is no excuse not to.
    USB is preferable to FireWire these days.

  • Hard drive size for macbook pro

    I have filled my hard drive storage and I would like to increase the storage size.  What is the maximum size of drive I can go up to?  I believe today that I have a 320 GB storage device.

    A motherboard with SATA III - the first year of MacBook Pro with it didn't go smoothly as planned.
    Apple has quietly introduced support for the next generation NVM Express (NVMe) interface to SSD Flash drives in their latest OS X 10.10.3 update as well as in the new Retina MacBook which was released on April 10th.
    PCIe-SSD helps make things smaller, less watts and heat, as well as faster, but the heck with SATA II & III, where is our PCIe 3.0?
    SSD tech has changed more and faster in the time since it hit mainstream in summer of 2008, constantly changing.
    When the G5 came out, that summer almost no one expected or was ready to see and support an SATA disk drive.
    Picking up a new tech interface and product? Apple? really?

  • Hard drive appropriate for macbook pro?

    Is Seagate 2.5, 500 SATA, 7200 RPM too big for my 2009 mid year macbook pro?
    My hard drive died last Wednesday night. I went to apple genius (3 hours away) and they were great, but out of replacemnent hard drives. So I bought one at best buy and installed it. Best Buy was out of smaller hard drives, so I bought Seagate 2.5 notebook drive, 500 SATA, 7200 RPM. I had to hook it up to one of my other macbook pros to partition it and get it set up correctly, but then when I put it back in my 09 macbook pro, I got an error when I tried to load the OS from disk.
    installing mac osx on the volume.
    INSTALL FAILED
    MAc osx count not be installed on your computer
    the installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again.
    I did a little research and someone suggested verifying the hard drive, when I tried to do that I got this:
    First Aid Failed
    Disk Utility stopped verifying permissions on "Mac OS X Install DVD" because the following error was encountered:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    I called and talked to someone in the apple expresslane yesterday and she said that the hard drive was too large - that I could not put 7200 RPM on a mid year 2009 macbook pro and I should take it back to Best Buy and get a smaller. I can't verify this online anywhere. 
    HELP.

    I repartitioned it and then I verified the hard drive on my dead computer in disk utilty with the OS install disk, and it said everything was good with the hard drive. So I went ahead and followed the steps to install the OS. I, again, got through checking the installation disk, and it was fine.
    When I got to install and it was calculating the time remaining, I again got the INSTALL FAILED notice. Says Mac OS X coult not be installed on your computer. The installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again.
    Ugh. the S/N number I posted was on the outside of the box for the HDD. I have the HDD in the dead computer now, so I am not sure how to get you that SN number without removing it from the computer.
    Of note, I did try to verify the HDD after the install failed and it said the HDD was okay.
    Any ideas? I am not psyched about driving back to the apple store, but will if I have to. Thanks very much in advance for any help or ideas.

  • Hard Drive Replacement for MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009)

    Recntly, my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009) stopped working.  It would not even boot up.  I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store where they ran some diagnostics and told me that my hard drive had failed.   They said they could replace it for around $160 (labor and parts) or I could replace the drive myself and then have them install the operating system for free.  This sounds like a much cheaper option. 
    What I am wondering is can I buy any hard drive, or does it have to be apple specific in some way?  Does anyone have any recommendations on which hard drive to buy?  Will I need any other special tools to do this?
    Thanks.

    Here's some great repair instructions for you: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_15%22_Unibody_2.53_GHz_Mid_2009
    There's no such thing as an Apple specific hard drive. Just be sure that it has the same connector as the one you're replacing.

  • Problems With Hardware Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011

    Dear Mac-Friends,
    My product is a Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011, runing a OS X 10.7.5.
    Problems I am facing are:
    1. Completly crash: with no explanation appears some patches of collored pixels all over the screen and the computer starts making a "Beep" (Then I need to manually re-start the Macbook). Some friends said it look like a "memory pouring".
    2. Mac Crash: it appears that black screen saying: "You need to restart your computer, please press the power button).
    Both problemas start happening  since I recently changed it's ram memory. I took the 2 x 2GB original, replacing for a Kingston 2 x 4GB 1333MHz DDR3, following the instructions in the guide.
    So far both problems happen when I am working (maximum time I have worked with no crash was something like 3 hours).
    Concerned with my situation I have looked for help in the web and most people say I have to make a Hardware Test. But I am trying really hard to this the Hardware Test (I tried holding "D", holding "Option + D", holding "Alt + D" in many ways that you can imagine, but could not run the Hardware Test, and no problem message was shown).
    I have already read the article in Mac Support Community about "Hardware Test" and I tried to install the EFI update for Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011, but says "This software is not compatible with your computer". So weird!
    Would anybody help me please?
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Best to you all!

    Hey friend.
    The software Rember says: It's not compatible with my OSx.
    This is the crash report:

  • What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11

    What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011?  I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB  I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200.  Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm.  How do I know what will fit??

    I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs.  They all are 5400 rpm.  I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements.  Tomorrow, there may be others.

  • Want to add internal hard drive to my Mac Pro

    I want to add an internal hard drive to my Mac Pro bought in 2011
    Running Lion 10.7.5  Processor is 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    Have a 1TB SATA
    Do I need a 2.5" or 3.5" ? Any other criteria i should know about when looking?
    Advice is appreciated.

    For a Mac Pro you'll probably want to go with a 3.5" drive. I would recommend Hitachi. I put a 2.5" new model Hitachi in my laptop along with an SSD and the Hitachi HD is unbelievably fast for a "spinner." If that's how there 2.5" models are there 3.5" models will only be better.
    Make sure none of the drives you use have a variable rotational speed. Some of the Western Digital Green drives have that and they go to sleep a lot. When they sleep they have to wake up and when they wake up it causes a delay. It won't happen if the drives in constant use but it can be annoying. I believe the Green drives are intended primarily for backup use where speed isn't critical but energy savings and longevity are.
    These are my opinions and observations.

  • Yosemite on Macbook Pro 13'' early 2011: crashes and loss of functionality

    After the OSX update my Macbook pro 13'' early 2011 has developed lots of problems: apps crash, battery doesn't last like before (5 hours in standby instead 10), Safari opens pages in 2 minutes and when I try to turn off the mac, it keep on working. I will try with a clean installation, but do you think this is normal? Thank u for the support.

    The battery is non-removable, so if you want Apple you have to go to the Genius Bar.
    As far as genuine Apple memory, I think it's the same thing. You may get it in the store, I don't think they sell it online. You can try calling the 800 number. You seem to want the Apple RAM only, but I have to tell you that most of us here recommend Other World Computing or Crucial.
