Best SSD for Macbook Pro Early 2011?

It seems the top two contenders are Samsung 840 Pro and Crucial M500. From a real world perspective, would I even notice the difference between the two as far a speed goes (or any other ones for that matter). i guess I am just curious if anyone has found other SSD drives that work nicely with the macbook pro, with or without trim enabled. I know the 840 EVO has issues for whatever reason. What about the Seagate 600 which does not use Sandforce or Marvell, or other Marvell drives like Sandisk Extreme II or Plextor M5 pro xtreme?
Also, if you could had how long they have lasted and comment on whether there has been any degradation in quality, that would be helpful as well. Things such as temperature and battery life would be helpful as well. Most review sites are so focused on Windows, it makes it hard to know.
I've already upgraded my RAM with the Crucial 16gb package and that is working well, and I am just looking to do the one other upgrade that will make this laptop viable for a few more years.

JasonB824,
I went with the Samsung 840 PRO (with TRIM enabled) for my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I haven’t had it for very long, and it’s nowhere near full, so I can’t comment on its long term behavior. I haven’t observed any quality degradation yet, and it does come with a five-year warranty, so it should last a while. I almost always run my MacBook Pro plugged in, so I can’t comment on differences in battery duration between charges. (Hmmm, why did I reply? ) My MacBook Pro only supports SATA II, but since yours supports SATA III, you should see the full performance characteristics of whichever SATA III SSD you choose. Unless you’re engaged in heavy-duty disk-bound use, you’ll be unlikely to notice speed differences between your top contenders.

SSD for macbook pro late 2011

Hello,
I need some help about SSD drives. I have read a lot but I don't understand much and decided to ask someone know better than me. My Macbook Pro is late 2011 i5 8gb ram and want to change its hard drive with SSD 256gb. I need advice about brands. For example is this okay 256GB Ultra Plus SATA 3.0 SSD? Or which SSD should I prefer?
Thanks a lot.
Selim Cavusoglu

Hey Selim,
I've installed many different brands of SSD's as well as different tier options for the same brand of SSD. In my experience, regardless of the brand the boot time will be right there next to each other between the 13-16 seconds range. Now if you want the best bang for your buck the simplest answer is go to amazon and buy a samsung 840 pro or samsung 840 evo. The performance is very similar and the price of the pro is a little higher since it will last longer due to it being a MLC SSD vs the EVO which is a TLC SSD. So if that answered your question there you go keep reading if you want:)
Between the two, i picked a used (by amazons standards, it had just had damage to the packaging) 840 EVO and it was about the same price as what you have shown an example. Now, buying used from amazon is hit or miss, so i recommend spending the extra $10-$20 for peace of mind. There is also cheaper options, but samsung seems to have the BEST track record with reliability AND performance. Keep in mind the 50MB differences in read speeds you see on benchmarks actually aren't very noticeable in launching apps.
Hope I've helped, If you would prefer a different option from the recommended samsung 840 evo let me know and ill gladly give a few more options.

Best upgrades for MacBook Pro Late 2011

Hello, searching in the community, only brings me to posts that are from 2012, as newer tech is available, I would like to renew the question and hopefully get some updated comments and suggestions.
I own a MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 (2,2GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, matte retina display, Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB, OS X 10.9.5 13F34).
I would like to upgrade to Mavericks and while I'm at it, I'll upgrade the hardware as well (HD and RAM).
I'm a photographer, and I noticed that Lightroom and PS are running slower as I upgraded through the OSs, this is the main reason for my need to upgrade, I would like more speed overall. There are so many choices of SSDs and RAMs on the net, I would love to get some good feedback from this post and maybe boil this down to three upgrade possibilities:
1 The BEST (meaning the top of the line and probably most expensive)
2 The MID (good compromise between price and performance)
3 The CHEAP (the least expensive choice to make the computer increase performance)
I really appreciate all the help I can get from the Community.
Marco Benvenuto
P.S.
If by any chance I missed a post that already answered my question, please link it to this one ;-)

I just bought the Crucial M550 CT512M550SSD1!!! Thank you so much for your help
If I could still pick your brain with another question...
I also have a Mac Pro 2 x 2,26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB, OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
Since there are fast PCI slots available, I was looking to put an SSD in there, but I noticed that the price difference is substantially higher.
I wont need more than 240/256 GB for the MacPro, since I have 2 2TB HDs and some others in there.
My question is: is the performance of the PCI SSDs compared to the regular SDD worth the up-upgrade?
Or should I just get another Crucial M550 (256GB) and put it in the second DVD bay?
I'm thinking to put the RAM on hold for both computers for now, but I probably will get Crucial for both a.s.a.p.

SSD in MacBook Pro early 2011

I'm upgrading my macbook pro 2011. I have already put 16GB of RAM and now I want to put a ssd, I found a good cost, is the Samsung SSD 840 Series 500GB but looking community I found several problems with the compatiblity. I wonder if these incompatibilities have already been resolved and if there are any SSD is fully compatible with the Macbook Pro because I do not want to have headaches because of it.

I noticed this after I had read through this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145724?start=0&tstart=0
If you google the same issue many links come up in various forums. Not a huge problem, just there are known issues.
I guess it is a moot point for this thread fiven gabriel_neto does not have a discrete chip.

Heating Issues for MacBook Pro (early 2011)

Hi
Am facing heating issues and am looking for what should be the ideal fan speeds for CPU Temp range
My Mac Details
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Processor : 2.8 GHz Intel Core
Memory : 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Storage : 750 GB SATA Disk
Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
My standard use is Mac with one VM (Win7) running.
What I have observed is the Fan speed is generall ~ 2000 rpm for CPU temp range of 55 - 70 Deg C.
Should the fan be spinnig faster as the base of the machine does become too hot for comfort to be working on Lap.
Are there any apps that can help me run some tests to montor performance?
Please help.
Thanks
Brijesh

A MBP should not be used on your lap since your body will act as an insulator that will inhibit heat dissapation.
Heat generated will be a function of the stress placed on the CPU/GPU by the number and type of applications you have open. Skype, video, games, and the like can result in temperatures that approach and exceed 100 c. There are internal sensors that will shut down the MBP if it starts to over heat.
The temperatures that you have reported are not unusual and are well within acceptable parameters for the MBP. The fans will start to speed up, when the heat increases, as required. Some users install fan control software, but I am of the opinion that what the Apple engineers have installed is satisfactory and need not be altered.
You may encounter a runaway application as described in the following link. Usually a restart will solve the issue.

Help after installing additional SSD to macbook pro early 2011

I just installed a new ssd in addition the my original harddrive by removing the superdrive. I got everything working good and can see both drives in Finder (OSX MT LION was installed in the SSD then i used migration assistant to get user info into SSD but i did not transfer music, downloads, or pictures). The problem is that i cannot access my old folders off the harddrive because it says i do not have permission to open. I tried right clicking on many different folders, including the subfolders, and choosing "Get Info" in order to change permissions to allow everyone to read and write but I am still not able to go in and when I did get into a folder there was nothing in there. I thought i might have had deleted my files accidentally but when I see the disk space available, the harddrive only has 100 Gigs free (out of 500gb) and iPhoto found all my pictures, told me there was a problem with the permissions and fixed them, now i can see all my pictures in iPhoto. Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

If your hard drive in the opti-bay is still 'intact' and bootable, I would just boot to it, use Disk Utility to (once again) erase and format the SSD and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the HD to the SSD. You'd have no permissions problems after that.
Good luck,
Clinton

How to fix magsafe port Macbook Pro early 2011

For a while I struggled to charge my Macbook Pro, so I decided to buy a new charger. It worked fine for a couple weeks but now it has started to do the same thing. I have to spend like maybe 3-4 min wiggling the charger until it finally starts, and then I have to keep it perfectly still for it to charge. Recently my macbook stopped charging completely. The magsafe port looks very burned (its kind of black). Also the area around the magsafe port is always HOT, even before the charging issues. How can fix this issue? Is this common for Macbook Pro early 2011 13" ? I don't have apple coverage at this time.

Sean, see if these troubleshooting tips help:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters if not, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out.

One thing to keep in mind is that while you'll be amazed at the increase in performance an SSD can deliver over a HD, the two storage mediums work differently, and one of the OS features SSD's benefit from is TRIM. While you've probably seen a lot of discussion and disagreement about that on these forums, this article about the Samsung 840 EVO SSD also goes into how SSD performance changes over time for a variety of SSD's. The narrative is interesting but the graphs are an eye-opener, showing how relatively successful Garbage Collection alone vs GC + TRIM are in recovering full performance. That's the good news.
The bad news is that while activating TRIM is simple, activating it with Yosemite installed has a real down-side. So if you haven't upgraded to Yosemite yet, you might keep that in mind.

Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
2011 models must use:
•204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
And 2012 models must use:
•204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
So here's the video:
Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
Good luck,
Clinton

Macbook pro (early 2011) won't boot after sleep. Black screen with chime

I put my macbook pro early 2011 (Quad, 8 Gb RAM, 2 x SSD-disks, external 27" LED-screen) into sleep mode a couple of days ago. Everything was fine then.
However, the morning after it wouldn't wake up - this is the bootup process:
- Black screen
- Chime
- Still black screen, nothing happens.
So I've tried resetting NVRAM, SMC etc - no luck. Even tried the "Powerbutton" + "S" + Enter but to no avail.So I immediately began dd:ing my SSD-disk before trying anything else, figured it might be some preboot-corruption of some sort since I'm running FileVault2 with full AES-encryption.
Now, the problem (after some troubleshooting) doesn't seem to be disk-oriented. Remember the black screen? I've tried pulling the SATA-cables one by one on the motherboard of the Macbook pro and discovered that when I pulled the cable which reaches over the optical device (just above the SATA-cable for the optical device) then I get a white screen and I'm able to get as far as boot-option, or even disk repair (if I run my SSD-disk over USB and without any cables (three of them) attacked to the motherboard).
So since nothing works when I have disks connected or that third cable (some kind of logic board bridge? Reaches through the screen over to the other side of the mother board).
Also worth noting is that I was running out of free disk-space on my system disk. The disk is 250 Gb and free space was about 5-10 Gb (less than 5%). I also make the macbook pro dump contents of memory to disk (since my disk is encrypted it resides safely there).
So, my fear is that Apple hasn't used A-grade controllers for the disk drives (I've had drive corruption before, a Crucial 6 GB/s drive trashed less than a week before a presentation) and doesn't handle "unexpected events" nor signal/noise ratio very well. Maybe free space on disk was less than the 8 Gb needed to dump RAM (shouldn't have needed the full 8 Gb though) and this caused some kind of panic overwrite which trashed the controller?
Anyways, I've attached an image of the motherboard and I am wondering - what does the top cable which reaches over the optical drive do? Is it connected to the logic-board?

Looks to me like a fatal error on the hard disk. IMHO, the only solution is to boot from an external device, reformat the hard drive, and restore from backup. If you don't have a backup, you're in trouble. Boot from the external device, try to mount the int'l drive, and, if successful, back up as much as possible. Also, try running Disk Utility—it may be possible to fix it while booted from a different device, thought I wouldn't bank on it. At any rate, make sure to run an AHT afterwards, to check for possible hardware issues with the drive.
If the machine is still covered by AppleCare, take it to the store by all means. But they won't try to recover anything from the int'l drive, just check it, erase it if they don't find hardware issues, and re-install a fresh copy of the OS.
That's why you should always have at least 1 up-to-date backup (2, with one kept off-site, is better).

Macbook Pro (early 2011) memory upgrade options

What are my memory upgrade options with a Macbook Pro (early 2011, 2.2 GHx Intel Core i7), currently with 4 GB of memory (2 GB X 2) of 1333 MHz DDR3 (PC3-10600S)? My manual says I'm limited to 4 GB x 2 = 8 GB of memory. Does that mean that the 8 GB X 2 = 16 GB option that's available will not work in my Macbook Pro?

MacBook Pro 15 inch Early 2011
You can install 16GB (2 x 8GB modules) in a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2011 model.
Apple tested with only 8GB (2 x 4GB modules).
