Question regarding SSD/HDD setup in late 2011 MBP

Sorry to start a new thread about this topic but I couldn't find the information I needed.
I'm about to install a 256gb SSD in place of the standard 500gb HDD in my late 2011 MBP, replacing the optical drive with the existing HDD. I don't really want to do a clean install, so I'm planning on using carbon copy cloner.
My question is how do I clone only the necessary files (my 400gb of data won't all fit on the SSD)?
I'm planning on putting all apps, system files, both libraries and the shared folder on the SSD, with music, docs, movies, photos and downloads remaining on the HDD.
Is it as simple as:
-select all necessary folders in CCC and clone to SSD
-boot from SSD
-delete cloned files from HDD
-redirect itunes etc to new paths
Thanks in advance.

I have a MacBook Pro 2.4ghz (MacBookPro8,2) (Late 2011) .. would you be able to tell me based on these screenshots if I would be okay putting a 6G SSD in my optical drive bay? Thank you!!

  • SSD   HDD setup in Early 2011 - SSD Read Only?

    So I recently upgraded my Early 2011 MBP with a 240 gb Sandisk Extreme SSD and a Seagate Maximus XT 750gb 7200 RPM drive. I installed Mountain Lion as a clean install on the SSD and moved my Users folder to the HDD by doing the advanced options thing I had been hearing about in a few other threads.
    Now all of a sudden my SSD is Read Only and it won't let me change the permissions (nor repair the permissions in Disk Utility) which is odd because I am te admin (and only user on the comp)
    When I changed the users folder I added a second Admin account (admin 1 is just MY NAME and Admin 2 was named MY NAME - TEST) so I wonder if that has anything to do with it,
    I would really like to not have to format all over again so any help with this would be great. Thanks

    Thank you-
    I think SATA II speeds might be adequate for my needs- much faster than the stock HDD, and the OS, Program and file handling capabilities of the Fusion Drive setup might be worth it. I guess I'll just have to try it, see if it works at all...
    Of course, the speed gain is important, but perhaps only if long term reliability is maintained-
    Thanks again-

  • BootCamp on Late 2011 MBP Question.

    I don't know where to start but here goes. I've had boot camp w/ Win7 32bit on my MBP for sometime now with the original HD. I upgraded to a SSD, and removed the optical drive and put the original HDD there.  recently decided to upgrade the original HDD to 1TB and CarbonCopy Cloner does not support cloning Boot Camp partitions. So heres what I did to get BC back on my MBP. I cloned my SSD to the new HDD. Removed the SSD and reinstalled the optical drive so I can use BC to partition and install Win7 on the new 1TB HD. The reason why I did that was because my MBP does not support booting from external USB CD-ROM. Now after I got Win7 up and running I removed the optical drive, moved the 1TB HDD back over and reinstalled my SSD as the main boot disk.
    Now here comes my real question. Can I wipe the OS X Partition on the 1TB disk or will it cause problems with BootCamp ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Considering going from late 2011 MBP to MBA. Seeking advice on performance.

    I currently have a late 2011 MBP with 4GB RAM, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 and am running into some performance issues. My main issue is that it takes time to switch between apps and sometimes to open a new tab in chrome. I have a lot of apps open for work purposes and I'm thinking the slowness could be due to not having enough RAM. When I look at Activity Monitor>System Memory, I see that I have about 1GB in Inactive, 1 GB in Active, and 2 GB in Wired. Then I'm seeing 5.62GB of swap used (that doesn't seem good).
    I like how compact the MBAs are and am thinking of getting either the i5 or i7 with 8GB of RAM. I'm thinking that the increase in RAM as well as the flash storage would help with the type of slowness I'm seeing, but would hate to buy it only to have the same problems.
    I would love to get some advice on this.

    I HAD the same 2011 MBP you have, and HAVE the current Macbook AIR,....theres almost no comparison between the two. You should possibly go use one for a bit at the Apple store etc, however regarding your question "will it be a difference/ big upgrade" the answer is of course yes,....definately so.

  • Late 2011 MBP i7 gets slow with and after Aperture

    My first post, please pardon my ignorance. I have read similar threads but I believe my situation is a bit different.
    Anyway, my late 2011 MBP i7 4GB ram, running on SL gets very slow after I open/browse/edit in Aperture. The system does page out to 1.3 gb. When using Safary and email, it becomes very painfull even after I close out the Aperture. The whole system becomes laggy and menus become delayed. The only solution is to reboot and my mac is back like new until I open the Aperture again. Every program is up to date and only about 160gb out of 500gb HDD being used.
    Heres what I've done so far:
    1. long hardware test checked ok
    2. NVRAM reset
    3. downloaded Kasperski and found no viruses
    4. rebuild/repair aperture database
    5. ordered 8gb crucial ram, should be in in a few days
    Is it due to not having enough RAM? My previous 2006 MBP Core 2 Due was almost as fast running on Lion and 4GB ram. I would expect a significant speed increase on my 4 core i7, but unfortunately it's not the case.

    Paging out to 1.3 gig effectively means that a lot of stuff is sitting in virtual memory on your hard disk.  The i7 is great for improving the speed of whatever is in memory, but anything that is paged out is limited to the performance of the HDD and SATA bus.
    The cheapest and most effective first step is to max out your RAM. It's a modest investment that will benefit you immensely. The second step is to replace mechanical disks with SSDs. Currently, this is a pricy proposition, but the performance improvement can be nearly 100% over a mechanical drive system.
    At the end of the day, it's about how much money you want to spend to go as fast as you can afford.

  • Can I downgrade from pre-installed Lion to Snow Lepoard on Late 2011 MBP i7 2.4?

    I've purchased a MacBook Pro Quad-Core i7 2.4 with pre-installed Lion (no installation DVD's included), but, unfortunately, found out that a big number of audio software doesn't run natively and malfunctions with this version of OS, meanwhile they worked flawlessly on my previous MacBook using Snow Leopard.
    The question is: can I downgrade from pre-installed Lion to Snow Lepoard on Late 2011 MBP i7 2.4?

    Thanks a lot for your reply. I ran into those numerous techy ways of downgrading, but I've found none addressing my particular model (I think I read something about 15", while mine is 17" and sometime it does make difference - because Apple love to keep secrets about what's inside). Since i've got zellions of audio plugins install, I'm trying to make sure that messing around with systems will lead to some fruitful result. So the new question: is there a way to make sure (I haven't found any tech spec threads naming the borderline between a "working variant" and "no-use-trying" variant) - is that just a matter of chance and doing it at one own risk, or is there still a way to make surefire decision?

  • Gaming Performance Increase from Late 2011 MBP to 11 or 13 MBA 2013?

    I have a Late 2011 MBP 13,upgraded with 256 GB SSD and 6 GB RAM.
    I play mostly CS:S, SC2, WoW, D3 and that's about it.
    I would like to be able to move into SimCity (After Aug 29 Launch Obviously), and perhaps DCUO and The Old Republic (VIA BootCamp)
    Would I see a nice jump with the haswell chips in the MBA 2013 model?
    If so I might jump, if not I am ok here right now, running wow at low with 30+ FPS.
    Just curious, thanks for the advice!

    The Late 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro has got an Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU, and the Mid 2013 13-inch MacBook Air has got an Intel HD Graphics 5000 GPU.
    The MacBook Air will work better with graphic tasks, but both of them are not ready for heavy use.
    If you want to play games like those ones, the best thing you can do is to get a 15-inch MacBook Pro, which includes a quad-core processor and a NVIDIA GPU which will work correctly. The difference will be very big compared to the Mid 2013 MacBook Air.
    Also, the MacBook Air is not ready for games. It overheats quickly, and high temperatures damage it. If you get the MacBook Air, don't set high values in games, and make sure that the games you want to play support integrated graphic cards

  • Problems with Late 2011 MBP (catalog corrupt, won't boot from USB/CD)

    Hello,
    I have had some problems with my Late 2011 MBP running OSX 10.8.x (latest update)
    I was using Safari when suddenly my screen froze. It has happened a couple of times before but it usually is either: 1.) a black screen for 5 seconds while nothing works responds and then it continues work like nothing happened, or 2.) just a freeze for a moment which goes away within a few seconds. I have visited the official service and they found nothing wrong with my laptop and said that it may have been just random occurrence. This time it froze and as I waited the fans went crazy and had no other option but to shut down from the power button. Later, when I wanted to boot up, it gets to the Apple logo, the circle spins and the small bar below appears and after a second or two, it disappears and then the computer shuts down. I went to recovery mode and used disk utility to verify and repair the problem (which only works to find out the problem, not to fix it, thanks anyway apple) Heres what it showed:

    I tried to boot DiskWarrior from a USB and a CD, after pushing enter in the bootable device's screen, I get a continuous loop of 3 beeps and I can't boot from either of the mediums.
    I also tried the Single-user mode (Command-s when booting) and the /sbin/fsck -fy said that my HD is not completely verifiable. Also, 3/4 of the files mentioned in disk utility are also mentioned in this process, with errors as forrows: keys out of order, invalid index key, invalid extent entries (7 times), incorrect block counts, number of links and incorrect sizes for the foretold files and invalid catalog record type.
    The reason why I'm not doing a clean install is that the last few days I've been in the process of deleting unnecessary items on my laptop so I could make a back-up (as for some reason, Time Machine is awfully slow and a new 600 gb backup would take and enormous amount of time, but that's a problem for another day) and as I had not yet reached the backing up part, my data is locked on this (possibly) corrupt HD. How should I advance and what steps should I take?
    My first and most important mission would be to get back into my OS to make a back-up. Then I'd deal with the "not being able to boot form USB nor CD" and the TM problem.
    Thank you all in advance,
    Martin

    Before you even start, consider that there may be no Windows 7 driver support for some of the hardware in your laptop. You won't know which hardware devices and functions are unsupported until you find out the hard way. In some cases, a driver conflict could cripple your computer.
    Like most OEMS, Toshiba pre-installs Windows 8 to boot with EFI on a GPT hard drive. Your Windows 7 install disc, on the other hand, most likely boots with a BIOS from an MBR. Therefore, your Windows 7 disc will not boot your computer.
    You would need to start by performing a low-level format of your hard drive. This completely erases the disc and its metadata. Then you could boot from your Windows installation disc and try to install Windows 7. How successful you will be depends on driver support.
    All things considered, you should stay with Windows 8. Next time, more research before you buy.

  • Ok, so i bought a 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM for my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro whose memory runs at 1067 MHz (I was also told that late 2011 MBPs run at 1333MHz, is mine an exception?)... Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap...

    Ok, so i bought a 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM for my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro whose memory runs at 1067 MHz (I was also told that late 2011 MBPs run at 1333MHz, is mine an exception, if so, why?)... Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap because computer freezes at boot and was wondering if there was anything i could do to get this 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM to work at 1067MHz or somehow get my computer to run at 1333MHz?...

    You don't have a late 2011 MB Pro.
    You have a 2010 version.  Your MB doesn't support 16GB.  8GB Max.
    That's what it shows on your about this MAC.
    You need to return the RAM and get 8GB ( 2 X 4GB ) 1066MHz.
    Your system bus is set to 1066MHz.
    You're having issues because you've installed more RAM than your MB can support.  It's only reading 4GB per bank which totals to 8GB and not 16GB.

  • No installation disc in late 2011 mbp, why

    in late 2011 mbp there is no os disc. I'm gonna install win system .but i don't have the disc . how do I install the drivers? how do i recover ?
    can I ask for a disc from apple store?
    anyone knows it?

    Computers shipped with Lion don't include any installer discs -- in fact Lion isn't available on discs at all. Your hard drive contains a Recovery partition (a new feature in Lion) that can be used to repair the primary partition or reinstall Lion from the Net. All the other software that is included with the computer can be downloaded from the Mac App Store and reinstalled if necessary. See the user guide that came with the computer.

  • Spinning wheel on late 2011 mbp

    my late 2011 mbp running 10.7.5 with 2.4 GHz i5 and 4GB which I bought last September is getting the spinning wheel. It only started recently and it makes my mbp lag for 3-5 seconds. If I click on anything or type, nothing would happena dn I would have to wait then everything would happen later. I don't see why this should be happening to a mbp which is over a year old. Can anyone help me?

    There was nothing red that came up from the first part.
    The lag has been getting worse. If my mbp lags then it does all of the commands at least 3-5 seconds late with the spinning wheel. I have to force quit my applications at times.

  • Still have some configuration questions for SSD/HDDs and Pr Pro (laptop)

    Hi guys,
    So I recently asked a question regarding configurations for a new Toshiba Qosmio (being delivered in 2 days)  I've done a lot of reading and have become somewhat more educated and somewhat more confused.  I'm having the X70-ABT3G22 custom built with an i7-4700MQ, a 256GB mSATA SSD, 2 matching 500GB (7200rpm Serial-ATA) HDDs, a 3GB GeForce GTX 770M, and 32GB DDR3L 1600MHZ SDRAM.
    It was suggested that I RAID 0 the 2 HDDs, which sounds like a great idea.  My question then, is the configuration of Premiere Pro with the - now 2 drives left.  I was reading about disk set-up on http://ppbm7.com/index.php/tweakers-page/84-disk-setup/95-disk-setup  which was very informative.  But the information there suggests that if I have 2 drives, I should consider adding a 3rd.
    At this point, there's no room for a third internal drive because the 2 have been striped to make 1, The SSD is obviosly for the OS and programs. And if Premier Pro functions more efficiently by spreading the workload over at least 3 disks, would I be better off by not striping the 2 matching HDDs and spreading the workload out?  Or should I stripe the 2 internal drives and use a USB 3.0 flash drive for the previews, media cache, or exports? Or stripe the 2 HDDs and just work with the 2 internal drives without anything external?  I'm looking for suggestions from you guys for the best way to configure this particular set-up.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Serioulsy.
    Thanks again
    Todd

    I do not know if a USB3 RAID box would be any better than my simple experiment that I tried.  See my thread for item 2 in the first post.  I bought a 2 1/2" external enclosure which I researched extensively for what sounded like it had an optimized SATA III to USB3 interface.  I put one of the fastest SSD drives I am aware of (Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB) in it to see what the performance would be.  When I put this SSD in my laptop directly on an internal SATA III with my PPBM6/7 benchmark it gives me a Premiere write transfer rate of almost 500 MB/second.  When I put the same drive in the external USB3 enclosure the Premiere write transfer is limited to slightly less than 200 MB/second which probably better than a most hard disk drives, but now where near taking advantage of the speed capability. 
    The answer to your question is yes, you can use an external hard drive RAID enclosure effectively but do not expect much more speed from that device.  You will have more reliability if you set it up for the right RAID mode.  Using hard drives you will have much greater capacity than SSD's offer.  The only disadvantages with a large multidisk USB3 enclosure is you will always have to have another AC cord to plugin and dragging a large disk enclosure around is a pain.  The small 2 1/2" enclosure above is self powered and highly portable.
    Do not believe many of the advertised read/write rates of these USB3 devices, specifically the write rates are not what you can achive in real life applications.
    I just checked and your Toshiba laptop does not have eSATA so I think you are limited to only USB3 peripherals. 

  • INSTALL SSD IN MACBOOK PRO LATE 2011

    I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 15". I would like to upgrade the 5400rpm hardrive for a fast SSD. Is it easy to do yourself or should I get this done in a store?

    Sorry - this one slipped past me...
    It's easy to DIY. I put a 512GB Crucial m4 into my 15" late 2011 MacBook Pro last April. There are hundreds of videos on YouTube on how to install the drive.
    First, decide on which drive you want - there's a good info and buyer's guide here. Although much of the discussion is about drives for Windows machines, most buying advice is good for Mac's, too. You'll also want to get yourself a toolkit and an external enclosure for your old drive - I got both from OWC.
    After you have the drive installed, follow the directions here to format the SSD and clone the 'old' drive to your new SSD.
    Any questions? Yell back...

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
