If you want to provide a link to the specific drive, we can let you know for sure.  Only a few manufacturers are making 7.5mm 2.5" drives and they should all fit without a problem.  You may be paying a premium for the thinner form factor however.  They're really designed to take up less space letting manufacturers make their machines even thinner.  If you don't need  a 7.5mm drive, you may be able to get an equally well performing, but possibly higher capacity 9.5mm SSD instead.

  • 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 !
    Thanks

  • SSD setup for Macbook Pro 2011....confused!

    Hi guys
    I have just got a Macbook Pro from 2011. (after being a lifelong pc user).
    I want to upgrade the hard drives. Would it be better to get a 256 SSD for OS and programs as the main drive, and a larger SSD or HDD as a second drive in place of the cd drive. Or to get one of these new 1tb SSD's and put everything on it. As its SSD would it make a difference in performance to have one big one for everything?
    Also, Im struggling with choosing a brand. I seem to be stuck between Samsung and Crucial, mainly the Samsung 840 EVO 1tb vs the Crucial m550 1TB. I have read some things saying that there are problems with the 840 evo on macbooks from 2011, but have read in other places that the 840 evo is better than the crucial.....so confusing!!
    If anyone can shed some light on this I will be very grateful!!
    Alex

    robodelfy,
    I've been using Crucial SSDs since I purchased my last MacBook Pro in 2012. I currently have a M500 960GB Crucial SSD in my machine and three Crucial SSDs in a Windows machine. Never had a problem with it.
    Although the Samsung 850 Pro is the fastest drive available to consumers, your computer won't be able to take advantage of all that bandwidth. If I were you, I would look at the Crucial M550 1024GB SSD or the Samsung 840 EVO 1024GB SSD. There were some problems with the earlier releases of the EVO drive but I believe that they have been fixed now.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    its a little faster on a mac IMO. I put a "cheap" toshiba SSD in my mac mini and I can startup in 5-6 seconds.

  • ZeroShock sleeve case for MacBook Pro is available...

    In case anyone is looking for one, the ZeroShock sleeve case fitted for MacBook Pro is available at:
    http://shinza.com/productinfo.php?productsid=57
    Although the manufacturer is Japanese, the product is apparently in inventory and shipped from their California warehouse.
    I have ordered, but not yet received.
    Enjoy.

    Ya the Biolithic is perfect for that application. I got one while my MBP was in for repairs so it's never been used. It comes with a screen protector, laptop bag, and peripherals bag. I can do $35 ($7 cheaper than if you bought from Biolithic) shipped, let me know if you're interested.
    Thanks,

  • I'm going to install SSD in my Macbook pro, how do I install for example OSX Lion? I dont have any CD as far as I know.

    Ideally, you should clone your HD as Bimmer 7 Series explains. 
    However, if your computer originally shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, a clone is not necessary to merely reinstall OS X. OS X Internet Recovery will create a recovery partition, download the installer package, and install it on a completely empty SSD or HD.
    Even if your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, it may be eligible to download a firmware update that creates the same ability: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904

  • 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.

    Many SSDs will require firmware for Mavericks compatibility and not all vendors offer an installer that will work on a Mac.

  • SSD in a Macbook pro

    I want to put a ssd in my macbook pro 15in, do I need an OS X disk to do so, or can I just use my Time Machine Backups?

    You could install a SSD however I think you will find they are extremely expensive per GB and they will continue to be so until they become more mainstream and manufacturing costs can come down. MacSales charges $579 for a 240GB model that will fit in a MBP, compared to the figure you quoted Apple seems to be pretty competitive. The only major advantages I can really see on SSD's are their startup times of the computer, applications and files. If you spend a lot of time opening apps and files then this might be of interest to you. If you don't then you would probably get much more benefit by getting a 7200 RPM HD. I've provided a link to MacSales so you can see for yourself.

  • SSD-problem with MacBook Pro 13" (Early 2011)

    Hi there,
    I've tried to use two different SSDs in my MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011). The first one (Samsung 840 Series, 500GB) crashed after two days: the beachball appeared and after a restart there was this question mark-symbol on my screen: no system found. Had to send this SSD back to Amazon. A few days later I've bought a new one, a SanDisk Extreme with 450GB. I've used it for two days, then my system crashed again and after a restart of my Mac I couldn't get any further than to the grey apple-symbol. Even the recovery partition didn't work anymore. Does anyone of you have the same problem with his (or her) MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011) - and any ideas for a solution?
    Thanks for your answers!

    Those are same as use by Apple in the non-retina macbook Pro, Ive got piles of them, only a Hitachi is better.
    Toshiba HD are a hair noisy even by Toshiba own admission, but no big deal.
    I would NEVER buy from OWC merely for the reasons that their prices are miserable.

  • Microphone for Macbook Pro 2011

    Hello
    I got a MacBook Pro late, 2011.
    I want to buy a Steelseries Siberia v2 headset with a microphone, but i dont know whether or not the microphone will work. The headset has two male jacks in the end - one for the headset, and one for the microphone. I dont believe the audio line in, will accept the microphone?
    If it won't, is there any work around? - Like a y-split cable for instance?
    Thanks

    7200RPM hard drives can boost your overall performance, and so can SSDs.  17" MacBook Pros can have external SATA via Express/34 added to boost performance.  Hard drives that are over 85% full will significantly degrade performance.  Make sure any hardware drivers or software you have has been tested with your GPU, and CPU, and operating system down to the point release.  Just because something is 10.6.x compatible doesn't mean it is anything more than 10.6 and 10.6.1 compatible.  It may have issues with 10.6.7.
    Run the font update for 10.6.7 if it hasn't been already, if you are running 10.6.7:
