New Sandisk SSD Plus on 2011 Macbook Pro is slow
Hello everyone,
Before I get into my issue here are some screen shots of system information.
I have recently installed a new Sandisk SSD on my early 2011 Macbook pro. After install of 0S and waited for finder to do its things I tested read and write speed using Black Magic Speed Test. My results are shown below.
ACTIVITY MONITOR
WHAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED.
Used disk utility to verify disk and repair no issues found one problem found when repairing disk permissions but it was repaired.
Fresh install of OS 10.7
NAVRAM reset.
Verified disk was actually selected in systems preferences.
Im at a standstill I have ran out of ideas of what it could be. I cannot appear to find anyone else who did not resolve this issues by following one or more of the steps above.
I searched that kernel process that is shown eating up my CPU and applied to following commands in Terminal.
Terminal method of fixing Kernel_Task RAM / CPU / Memory problem in Mac.
Use terminal in Mac to fix Kernel_Task RAM / CPU / Memory problem in Mac.
Command to check ModelIdentifier of your Mac:
system_profiler -detailLevel mini | grep "Model Identifier:"
Command to change directory to Resources:
cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SM C_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/
Command to list the names of ModelIdentifier in Resources directory of your Mac:
ls
Command to move YourModelIdentifier.plist file to Users directory:
sudo mv YourModelIdentifier.plist /users
[Please Replace YourModelIdentifier.plist with Your Model Identifier.plist name. Like mine was MacBookPro8_2.plist. In My Case the command will be: sudo mv MacBookPro8_2.plist /users]

Thank you OGELTHORPE for the helpful hint on changing the vies on the Activity Monitor which allowed me to find the problem.

Slow ssd in my 2011 macbook pro
my kingston ssd is slow in my 2011 macbook pro

did i do something wrongDid you prep it correctly?
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your Recovery HD. Wait for the Utilities Menu to appear.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
You should also check to see if TRIM is turned on. If it isn't, then download Trim Enabler 3.3. -
Early 2011 MacBook Pro incredibly slow after installing Mavericks
I'm really hoping someone can help me out. As per the subject line, I installed Mavericks on day one (and learned my lesson!).
Since installing Mavericks my MacBook Pro runs incredibly slow. If I open the Mail App and Safari - it almost grinds to a halt. I have the "Memory Clean" App which I now have to run constantly (it appears to help a little) and I try to only launch one app at a time where possible, but it's not really pratical.
As an aside, my MacBook ran really well with Mountain Lion, so there's little doubt to my mind that Mavericks is the culprit.
I'd be eternally grateful for any help & advice :-)
I spotted other people advise running EtreCheck, here are my results:

CleanMyMac is crapware.
Crapware is anything that purports to "optimize", "clean", "accelerate", "monitor", or "protect" your Mac. These apps are unnecessary, poorly written, overpriced (if they were free, they'd still be overpriced), and harmful. The people who sell this stuff know this, but they keep selling it because people keep buying it. They can damage your OS and be difficult to uninstall.
I would try to uninstall it, but if that fails, you may have to erase your HD and do a clean install. -
Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15 - Slow and Freezes
Good Morning.
This is MBP is running slowly and freezes, particularly if watching video, but is sluggish even opening applications from finder.
The MBP was taken to a apple service provider with the complaint of very sluggish and a strange graphic issue (The graphics were garbled at times - there is a known issue with logic boards.) a picture of the graphics was provided.
The service provider stated that the HDD drive failed the SMART test but graphics passed his test. When questioned if he was comfortable that nothing was wrong with graphics based on picture he stated that he advised I take it to the apple store. Which I did. There the MBP passed both the graphics and HDD test. based on the photograph the no less than 3 geniuses agreed the logic board was bad, though it wasn't the "typical" failure. The genius bar was given the information about the apple service provider and slowness. All of that was entered into the comments.
The MBP was sent to apples repair depot where the logic board and magsafe board was replaced. and the MBP was returned with assurances that all was well.
Though the graphics issue has not reoccurred the speed is not any better and may be worse. (in excess of a minute fifteen boot, noticeable delay opening browsers or menus).
Additonal information:
When provided to the apple service provider (and presumably the apple store) the computer contained the original 4gb ram. and had never been opened. The ram showing on this report is crucial, contains the mac logo and was installed because the service provider said 4gb was low, so when the computer returned and was still slow it was tried - it seems to have made no difference).
The HDD failed to secure erase the freespace on HDD 3 times prior to repair with the message "could not create temp file" after running overnight.
I've reset PRAM and SMC and run trough various "why is my mac slow" guides to no avail.
The anti virus was also added post repair to look for any thing malicious.
Help please.

That recall is not just for the Retina model:
From:
https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
Affected Models
MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011)
I'm aware of that recall it is the "known problem" I mentioned in the original post, however the linked story RE: Yosemite referenced retina MacBook Pros
There is an issue in retina MBPs and Yosemite:
http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
"Regardless of symptoms, the issue has been traced to switching to the discrete GPU from the integrated GPU.
Read more: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/#ixzz3YWcK80s9"
So I was not sure if this was discussing a separate issue, that is why I mentioned it was not a Retina.
"Does "disk warrior" report anything that the apple store test would not?"
The Apple Store would run the Apple System Diagnostic (ASD).
Re:
http://www.dannydullin.com/apple-service-diagnostic-asd-reference-list/
The trick when you take it to the Apple Store is to make your computer repeat the failure that you see. It actually would be a good idea to get it to fail just before your appointment. Don't shut it down just take it to them frozen.
Then you can hand the genius the MBP and say, "This is what happens."
Actually a suggestion of another senior member around here. I'd credit her if I could remember who it was.
They ran two test one was a video test and the other was a hard drive test "quick apple store" that said it "randomly checked disk" or something close to that.
I can only hope to get it to fail right before going. - only real problem is that considering the apple disclaimer about their responsibility for your data, there is absolutely no way they are getting it with our data on it. But if I can get it to fail I'll let them see it before wiping it... I mean the sluggishness is obvious so at least they can see that.
I do appreciate the ideas. There were a number of people there when I dropped it off the first time, one of them was on her third logic board. Another on the second. -
Anyone have issues with Sata 3 SSD in the 2011 Macbook Pro
Hi Guys and Gals.
Does anyone have issues with the Macbook Pro 2011 Model with a Sata3 Solid State Drive ?
I have issues and have a Vertex3 made by OCZ. I am in active discussions with OCZ to find a resolution on their end. I have also contacted Apple Care and Intel and have run into dead ends.
However I am bringing my MBP for a repair, logic board replacement and will post the results after they change the logic board for me.
Check my thread on OCZ: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?89970-A-call-to-all-Macbo ok-Pro-2011-Users-with-SATA3-Issues
Regards,
JaseWell, my My Genius appointment went very much as anticipated - it might well be a SATA III connection but Apple they do not support SATA III drives - least of all other people's.
Furthermore, they do not actually support anything other than the original configuration as sold - so given that I bought a 750 GB HD version, that is what I am stuck with - I asked Apple (London Regent St) if they could upgrade it to one of their own SSDs if I paid for it - they could not. They can only repair the machine to its original condition. They could not even advise me as to what Apple co-branded SSD I should look for to be compatible with this model - 512 Gb drives do come up on Ebay - Apple / Toshiba seems to be the normal one - but they couldn't advise if that would work or not. So it could be good money after bad.
Anyhow, they finally agreed to swap the cable, for a charge, so that will take two or thee days, plus the 5mins to do the job. I will post the results of the cable swap when I have it. They could not tell me whether it would be a different version of the SATA cable to the one already in the machine - but I asked to keep the old one so I can see if there is any visible difference.
It does seem strange that Apple support thunderbolt drives - which you can't even buy yet, but don't support SATA III in either Mac Pro or MAcBook Pro given that the full 3.0 standard was released on May 27, 2009.
Two and a bit years is a long time in tech terms.

I, as so many others, are also facing issues with my SATA 3 SSD. I've been reading about people having issues on OCZ's forum, on Intel's forum and all over the web. I have a MBP 2011 13" bought last month with the 6/6 setup.
Hotjase, have you come to understand that the issue lies with the logic board? One would hope that Apple would owe up and come forward if there are in fact faulty logic borards. I have read that Apple have gone from 6/3 to 6/6 and then back to 6/3, though I do not know if this is applicable to all MBP models, or just some. As I sayed, I have the 13" model.
SdeS, what was the result of your talk with the Genius? Did you receive a new cable? If so what result? -
Can I use a SATA cable from a 2007 MacBook Pro for an SSD in a 2011 MacBook Pro?
Trying to replace the optical drive on my MacBook Pro with an SSD. The only SATA cable I have is from a 2007 model. Will that work? Also, I can't find a good sled for the drive... Will literally taping it in place suffice until I find such a sled?
An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

2011 MacBook Pro suddenly slowed to a crawl
So after work today I go to startup my MacBook Pro (2011, 2.2ghz Intel i7, 8gb ram, 1gb VRAM, running Lion), and for whatever reason it's suddenly terribly slow. Never had a problem with it before, but now it takes 20 min to startup, all my apps run extremely slow, and require force quits because they take so long to close. Any attempt to perform one function in one app automatically makes every app freeze for at least a minute or two. I ran activity monitor and got nothing out of the ordinary, but something is definitely sapping my performance. About a week ago I tried (unsuccessfully) installing windows through boot camp, and when it didn't work I uninstalled the partition. That's really the only thing I can think of that'd be a problem, as I had a vaguely similar problem on my last Mac.
I should also mention that since deleting the Windows partition whenever I go to startup my computer I have to hold the Alt key to select my startup disc or else it'll try and start as Windows and then fail (giving me a "press any key to find boot disc" sort of error message requiring me to restart and hold Alt to select OSX, and when checking my partitions it shows just one section, but that one section doesn't include all of my hard drive. I tried expanding it to cover everything but it gives me an error message. Any help would be much appreciated.When you deleted your failed Windows installation, did you do it using Boot Camp Assistant? I suspect not, but that's what you needed to do to recover the full use of your hard drive. See page 20 of this guide:

2011 MacBook Pro Runs slow and Freezes
I have a Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 running 8 GB of RAM and it runs like a dog - freezing and crashing like a PC would - have to keep rebooting it. What is going on. Has Bill Gates poisoned the Apple?
NO - it takes forever to load finder (files and subfiles take ages to load) and most other programs and then just stays busy forever & eventually I have to force quit everything and reboot.
I ugraded to 10.7.3 this afternoon and it seems to have made a small improvement. Not much.

hello, i'm here to ask about my worries about wasting more money on re-downloading my favorite movies back on to my macbook 2011 model, because in a few weeks time, I'm upgrading to an durable SSD drive but my music/movies are at stake, so should i be safe with icloud as long as i have my itunes account? please respond back asap! my email [email protected] to be sure
the clone won't take you that long - i cloned a 30GB drive in 20 minutes.
here are the steps:
first get yourself a usb external enclosure...install your new drive there....
then download carbon copy cloner.
now connect your external to your macbook's usb.
launch disk utility - format/erase your new drive to mac os extended journaled.
close disk utility and launch carbon copy cloner.
clone your old drive - to your new drive - you will get a pop up saying that a recovery partition wasn't created.
create one with carbon copy - proceed with the clone. once the clone is done, turn your macbook off.
install new drive in your macbook and install old drive to your usb enclosure - use it for back up purposes.
turn your macbook back on - if boot time takes longer than 45 secs - go to system preferences - startup disk - select your new drive as the startup drive - restart your macbook.
now it should boot at 14 sec.
it's that simple -
2011 Macbook pro painfully slow, but CPU usage is almost nothing
I brought this macbook almost a year ago now and expect that my warranty has almost run out. At first the computer was fine and i could run almost every program on the computer without effecting performance, the almost suddenly the computer became slow, and gradually got worse. I now have trouble simply opening safari without it freezing for a few seconds to a few minutes. I work on the computer and it regularly crashes causing me to loose data.
i have tried resetting the P-RAM and deleting various files, searching for viruses etc. but nothing seems to make a difference. I would find it hard to format the drive and start again as i have about 300gb of files to backup and no way of doing that.
I can't take it to apple as the comuputer was an insurance replacment for a lost laptop and the warranty is with the insurance company, not apple.
Anything erlse i can try? It's running lion OSX 10.7.4
Thanks
RyanIf you have an external drive that you can set time machine to back up to that is ideal. There is no way to backup without some form of external media whether it be a single drive, a network drive etc. Since the problem you are describing could be the hard drive it's a good idea to backup before you try anything that might stress the drive.
Any new Apple should be eligible for Apple Care no matter who you got it from, all you have to do is register it in its first year. -
Late 2011 Macbook Pro with SSD Freezing
Hello,
I have a late 2011 macbook pro and about six or so months ago I have it a new lease on live with a Samsung 840 SSD (non pro).
I haven't really had any problems with that until recently - the machine started locking up on wakeup. This meant that the beachball of doom would start and each program would gradually in turn become unresponsive. Shutdown command wouldn't work and would time out, force quit wouldn't open, and although I could move the mouse around and sometimes switch between programs, they didn't work and the only cure was to hold the power button until it switched off.
This has also started happening just when the computer has been on for a certain amount of time *without sleeping*. For example, if I watch an episode of a tv show, by the end of it the video is still running but all of the other programs are locked up - clicking out of VLC causes the beachball of doom. This also happens in other programs - it's even happened as I've been writing this, and the only remedy seems to be a hard restart.
The problem doesn't seem to occur in windows. In OSX I have 'put hard drives to sleep' turned off, and TRIM enabled. I also disables the sudden movement sensor. I have also reset the SMC.
Does anyone know of a remedy short of a full reinstall of Mountain Lion?
Oh and I used samsung magician in windows to update the firmware of the drive. It reports that the drive should be fine.
Thanks very much for any help anyone can give me with this!anything is possible - corrupt files - corrupt drivers - it could be anything.
try doing a nvram/pram reset and see if that sorts it out.
i have ssd installed in all my Macbook/Macbook Pro and have never had any issues.
Then again, I don't have windows installed in any of them.
hopefully the nvram/pram reset sorts it out for you.
once you've done that reset - go back to system preferences - startup disk and select your ssd as the startup drive again - then restart it again. -
I have a 2011 macbook pro, buy yet when I connect my 16GB or 8GB Sandisk Extreme class 10 30mb card, it wont read it, however, it reads a 2GB class 2 card, is there anyway to fix this? and no, there is nothing wrong with the cards, they shoot fine, my dell inspiron 15 reads these cards fine, but yet my brand new macbook pro does not.
After many days of frustration, I try a stupid thing.... Put the SD card in the Lock Position and... Voilá!
The way I find to access the content is put the SD card in the Lock position..

Intel SSD 530 240gb - 17" late 2011 Macbook Pro
I was given a new in the bag Intel SSD 530 240gb
I have a 17" late 2011 Macbook Pro..
I can afford to buy another brand and sell this one online/ebay...
Am I asking for problems installing and using this? My laptop is the core of my business so I need stability.
I have not only a timecapsul backup but also a daily copy clone to a internal hard drive in my MB too..
If I choose not to use it is the general consensus Samsung the most Mac compatible.
I'm in Bali and so warrantee follow up is a nightmare..
Thanks in advance..I do not have experience with the Intel SSD's but I also heard of some problems (that you can solve with a firmware update, which is not easy to do).
I would go for the lowest risk and buy Crucial SSD.
Samsung is NOT the most compatible for Mac, it is as compatible as most other brands. The disadvantage in the Samsung SSD's is that it does not have the best diskcontroller. Crucial has the Marvell controller which is by far better.
I have experience with Samsung, Crucial, Micron (same as Crucial), Mercure. They all work well, with the best experience with Crucial. About 10 MacbookPros upgraded to SSD.

Putting a SSD in the optical drive bay of a late 2011 MacBook Pro.
I want to put a large Solid State Drive in the optical drive bay of my late 2011 (Model ID 8,2, 2.4 GHZ quad i7, 8 Gigs RAM, SSD boot drive) using the carrier and drive from Other World Computing. The "About This Mac" box shows that the optical drive is 6G so I'm thinking that it should be OK putting a 6G drive in that bay, but OWC says that MacBook Pros have only a 3G optical drive capability. I know this was true on earlier models, but my bay says 6G. The 6 G SSD's are faster and have a longer warranty. I do pro audio work and want to record to the new drive with speed and reliability. Is there any way to prove that my MBPro will handle 6G? I was told by someone at OWC who looked up my my serial number that it would work, but another tech guy at OWC said they didn't recommend it. I'm thinking that they just issue a blanket "no" answer to cover themselves against people ordering a 6G drive for a machine that wouldn't handle it. Before I order a 6G drive is there a way I can know for sure if it will work?
Many thanks,
RobertIf the computer is correctly identified as 15-inch Late 2011 MacBook Pro, and not an Early 2011 build series,
according to MacTracker database (http://mactracker.ca download application) optical drive interface supports
the same spec as the hard disk drive...
Hard Drive Interface 6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
Optical Drive Interface 6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
So should there be an error in identification, that would make a difference. Some Early 2011 models may
have the 3.0 Gbps or 6.0Gbps data rate in the optical drive. All Late 2011 models should be 6.0 Gbps.
Good luck & happy computing!
