Need an SSD for a mid 2010 MacBook Pro...

My HDD suddenly died on me! No warning. It's still spinning away, clicking away but totally dead. Not even showing up on any disk repair recovery programs, ***?.
Anyhoo, I need a new HDD and have decided to go with an SSD.
I have a mid 2010 15" 2.66 i7 MacBook Pro, and am wondering what SSD spec I need to be looking for.
I'm pretty sure that the new drive would need to be SATA II. Anything more would be over kill.
Other than this, any other considerations regarding compatability that I need to be aware of?
Thanks guys, for any pointers offered.

It depends on how much you're willing to spend. A ~250GB SSD will cost you around $400-500, depending on the make and type (SATA I vs SATA II). My minimum recommendation for any boot drive size is in the 80-120GB range (leaning toward the higher end of that), and these will cost between $100-$200 for an SSD. SATA II SSDs will be more expensive than SATA I versions, but the performance of the SATA I SSD will be well above the performance of an SATA II mechanical HDD.
These days, if you're up for it my recommendation is a ~120GB SSD replacement for the optical drive (there are several companies that sell brackets for holding 2.5-inch drives in the optical drive bay), which will allow you to use the SSD as a boot drive and the existing HDD as a storage drive. It's great on battery life and offers exceptional performance for the money.

  • Should I put the new SSD drive in main HDD bay or the Superdrive/Optical bay for a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

    Hello All,
    I'm considering getting a new SSD drive to add on to my Mid-2010 Macbook Pro (13 inches, unibody), and wondering which one of the following two options I should really adapt: 
    (1) Replace the original OEM hard drive in the main bay with the new SSD drive, and then remove the Superdrive (or the optical CD drive) and to be fitted into an external enclosure for using it externally in the future, and then relocate the original OEM hard drive into the Superdrive position, so both the new SSD (preferably for running the OS and system files) and the old OEM hard drive (for storing media and documents for example) could be used; and
    (2) Keep the original OEM hard drive in place in the main drive, and buy a superdrive/optical drive caddy to goes with the new SSD drive, and together place the new SSD drive fitted inside the caddy into the position of the Superdrive/Optical CD drive, and configure the boot preference to be booting from the Superdrive/Optical Drive (which is now the SSD drive with OS and system files);
    I've done some researches and some suggested that option (2) is better approach for at least two reason: (a) the MBP main drive come with some sort of shock proof sensor, so placing the original optical hard drive in the main is better than placing it in the super/optical drive where there is NO shock sensing feature provided, and placing SSD in the super/optical drive, one doesn't really have to worry so much about shocks; and (b) as during the process of shutting down the MBP, for optical hard drive, some power will sometimes needed to finally spin down the drive, but if such optical hard drive is place in the superdrive, the power maybe cut off right away when MBP shut down, which may cause issue to the optical hard drive in a long run as it never properly spin it down.
    Then the main concern is that, if I adapt option (2) above, placing SSD in the super/optical drive bay and install and running the OS from there, will it decrease the performance (i.e. speed, latency, and etc.) as if i was to put the new SSD in the main drive?
    Also, any suggestions with respect to Samsung 840 EVO vs. Samsung 850 EVO (250GB)? any well-rated HD caddy aside from OWC for moving the main HDD to optical CD bay? and perhaps an external enclosure for the Superdrive?  Thanks in advance for any comment and/or suggestion. 
    - Jack

    Could you provide some rationale(s) behind it?  As far as I know, the mid 2010 Macbook Pro, the HDD is running via the SATA interface at running at 3.0 Gb/s, which is SATA II, and the Super-drive and/or the Optical drive, which is also running via SATA II interface, so I would assume the performance (i.e. primarily in speed) would be similar if not the same by placing the SSD drive in either one of the two places. 
    Also, wouldn't it be better by placing the SSD in the optical so the OEM HDD could be kept in the original main bay since it has the shock-sensing feature there?

  • Is my mid 2010 macbook pro compatible with apple tv?

    I just purchased apple tv and am having trouble with airplay are mirroring?  I need to know if my mid 2010 macbook pro and ipad 2 are compatiable?  Because so far the only thing i am able to get on my apple tv is my music.  I am unable to mirror any of my pics or applications.
    Help please!!

    It has a newer processor that is capable of video encoding.
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance.

  • How to setup trim for 256GB SSD for Yosemite OS 10.10.1 on Mid 2010 MacBook Pro

    What is the best way to setup effective TRIM for a newly installed SanDisk Ultra Plus 256 GB  (old version) drive on a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 6,2 with 8 GB RAM and running just installed Yosemite OSs 10.10.1?  The new operating system is not referenced by SanDisk.   Thank you.

    Thank you and to others that responded,   I will take the advice to not enable trim at this time,but will visit the issue at a much later date.   Maybe Apple will find a way to securely allow us to TRIM 3rd party SSDs.   Iwill look at an annual manual TRIM in a year or so, if that is a good solution. Does this approach sound reasonable?   This is my first ever post to this problem solving group.  Thanks again also to ALL previous contributors.

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro and Intel 530 SSD

    Hey everyone,
    Does anyone have any information regarding upgrading my mid-2010 MacBook Pro i5 running Mavericks with an Intel 530 250GB SSD?  I have read some stories of people not being able to boot etc when running Lion with the 510/520 series.  If it is not compatible, any suggestions of a similar SSD from another manufacturer?
    Thank you all in advance and Happy Thanksgiving!

    @Clinton, thanks, I like this machine as well.
    FWIW, I got the SSD with the "Data Doubler" from Macsales. For those who do not know this is a metal frame that allows a standard size 2.5" disk or SSD to be used in place of the optical drive, which in my case no longer was able to read many media disks anyway.
    I setup the SSD in the old optical bay and left my 1TB Toshiba hard drive in the hard drive bay. I did this because I have some long ago memory of reading somewhere, perhaps in error, that the sudden motion sensor won't signal a hard drive in the optical bay in the case of an event.
    The SSD is my boot device and main device while the hard drive is my media drive, movies, music, as well as the virtual Windows drive using Parallels. As a development machine this SSD has put new life into the old girl and saved me quite a nice chunck of change over getting a new machine.
    One note; for my machine OWC recommends getting the 3G (SATA II) drive rather than a 6G (SATA III) as due to some quirk an OWC 6G drive will fall back to 1.5G speeds rather than 3G. Here is their list of machines:
    MacBookPro5,1
    MacBookPro5,2
    MacBookPro5,3
    MacBookPro5,4
    MacBookPro5,5

  • Mid 2010 MacBook pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but display is sooo dark - like no backlight.  I think this is an LED screen.  Does anyone know the fix for this?

    Hi all...  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro took a keyboard spill.  It still works but the display is very very dark.  A faint image can only be seen at an angle in very bright light.  I think this model has an LED screen.  Can anyone please tell me what the fix for this is?  Thank you sooooo much!

    Spill Cleaning
    Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
    Do
    Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
    Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
    Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
    Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
    Note what was spilled on your Mac.
    Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
    Don't
    Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
    Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
    Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

  • Wi-Fi Slow for Mid-2010 MacBook Pro in Clamshell Mode

    'd like to add my experience the posts which I have see regarding slow speeds in clamshell. I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13 and when I first attempted to use it with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse - I too experienced significant slowing of the wi-fi speed. About 3 months ago, we swapped our existing router (non-Apple) for an Airport Extreme. That seems to have somehow cured the problem. While this does not address the issue with a 2008 product, I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has similar experience and/or if this potentially corrects the problem for other current model (or earlier model) Unibody owners. I hope that this isn't something that might evaporate with a software update someday in the future.
    Mid-2010 13in Macbook Pro

    Hello thedoctor8706
    Reset your NVRAM and test to see if that resolves your issues. Typically that will resolve video, volume, startup disk selection, and kernel panic issues.

  • Mid-2010 Macbook Pro Crashes Often (I know)...

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by this recall.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
    Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
    The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they might still be covered.
    Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a  third-party utility to switch to it manually.
    Often the problems start after a system upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.
    If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Mid 2010 macbook pro panic shutdown

    My mid 2010 Macbook pro is experiencing an increasing number of black screen shut downs.. 3 or 4 a day currently.
    Often this occurs when the keyboard or mouse is touched after it has been idle for a short period, and sometimes mid use.
    Ive tried running without any peripherals  to no effect and carried out basic disc doctor / onyx procedures to no lasting effect.
    Any interpretation of this would be a great help.
    Here is a crash report ..
    thx

  • My mid 2010 MacBook Pro loses network connectivity

    I have four mac computers running on our home network.  My mid 2010 MacBook Pro has become notorious for losing network connectivity with the other computers.  It maintains it's internet connectivity consistently, but it's ability to see and connect with the other computers on the local network is finicky at best.  The other three computers (2008 iMac, 2012 iMac, 2012 MacBook Pro) all connect to our Actiontec MI424WR Fios router via ethernet, whereas the mid 2010 MacBook Pro connects via WiFi.
    If anyone could please help me troubleshoot the issue, that'd be much appreciated.
    Sincerely.

    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article.  
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
    From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
    If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
    Step 4
    This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 5
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Why does my mid-2010 macbook pro keep restarting? Kernel panic?

    Please help,
    I work solely on my mid-2010 macbook pro. Lately it has been restarting itself more frequently. I should take it in, but it's hard to be without it for any extended period of time. I was hoping someone could take a look at my crash report and make sense of it?

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report and bring it with you.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution.
