Using an early 2013 Macbook Pro ssd with another Macbook externally?

Hi,
I have an early 2013 macbook pro with retina display that got very badly damaged. Can the ssd be removed from it and used in an enclosure as an external hard drive with my new macbook? And are such enclosures readily available?
Thanks,
Nick.

I would give OWC a call.  http://eshop.macsales.com/search/retina+ssd+enclosure
They have bare enclosures for retinaMBPs, but not for your specific model.  But they do sell external SSDs in an enclosure for your model.  Find out if they can sell just the enclosure.
Ciao.

  • Boot macbook pro HD with another mac

    Hi,
    My Macbook Pro won't boot up because its logic board is dead. I need to retrieve the data from the HD. What is the best way to do it?
    Thanks.

    Remove the drive from the broken Mac and connect it to the other Mac with a SATA to USB adapter. You will then be able to copy your files off it to the other Mac.

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
    Your help is really appreciated"

    Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
    Thanks really appreciating your help

  • New Macbook Pro i7 with 750G HDD - Tech Wants to Upgrade to 250g SSD? Is this right?

    I really need some guidance and advise! I am NOT a computer savy person so please forgive my ignorance!
    I just purchased my daughters MacBook Pro i7 with a 750g HDD. It is basically brand new and has been used less than 40 hours. Still under warranty.
    I will be using this laptop for work and need to run Microsoft Word, Excel, surf the net, and have a large volume of pictures and videos to transfer over for my job. I have always kept these images on my computer and would like to continue to do so moving forward. I do not want a separate hard drive if I can do without.
    I went to a computer store about having the data moved from my old MAC onto the new one or place it on a Time Capsule. The computer technician advised me not to use the Time Capsule but to just move everything over to the new MAC. He wants to take out my current HDD which is like new and replace it with a 250G SSD to make my computer faster and perform better. The HDD drive will be removed because I don't want to give up the CD drive that I do use with work.
    Is this a wise move? What would be the benefit of replacing this hard drive? I just need feedback on whether or not this is truly an upgrade or if I should find a new computer technician!

    For faster boot and shut down times and faster response in resource intensive applications you will lose 500 GB storage.  For web browsing, emails, text editing and the like, there will be no noticeable difference in the operation of the MBP with a SSD. 
    For the faster speeds that a SSD affords, I personally am more interested in having the extra storage.  If you really think that speed is important, install a !TB SDD.  For the average user, speed is not a critical factor.  The fiscally prudent thing to do is keep what you have, use it for a while and make a decision based on actual use rather than on the opinion of a person who may or may not have the same views as you.

  • Best cooling pad for Macbook pro 15" with retina (2013)?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook pro 15" with retina display, bought in 2013 and I started playing Starcraft on the machine. It becomes extremely hot, almost unbearable to touch and after searching online, I've been told that overheating of macs is relatively common. It is also extremely noisy. Firstly, is this something that I should be worried about, i.e. is it normal? (it is still under warranty) Also, I was looking to get a cooling pad- which one would you recommend? I couldn't find many macbook pro w/ retina display specific ones, so I thought maybe a generic laptop cooling pad?
    There are so many to choose from and I don't know where to start! Perhaps the Cooler Master NotePal X3?
    Thank you for your help!

    is it normal?
    Is the game rated for the GPU on the Mac (look at the game's specs)?  If not, then I would not run it on that Mac.
    If it is rated for the GPU on the Mac, then no, it is not normal, and I would have the machine looked at, after running the hardware test that came with it.
    See my tip about MacBook Pro heat:
    kmb kmbp: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?
    The GPU is the Graphics Processor Unit.
    A cooling pad might help, but it might also mask a more serious problem.      I've used this cooler on Powerbooks before:
    http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Notebook-Cooler-USB-Powered/dp/B0000BVYTV
    But only outside warranty.   Mind you, because of the heat, sometimes some of the darker markings on the edge of the cooler and come off on the bottom of the notebook.  Hence why I would only use it outside of warranty, since such marks may make the AppleCare representative think you might have done something to damage it.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    What problems specifically? If you have a problem you should start your own thread and explain the problem in detail.
    External USB devices including hard drives and DVD work fine on the new Macbook Pros.

    I am unable to access intranet on my MacBook Pro 13" with OS X mavericks. Is it possible to use files on the Local Area Network? I use the files on the Local Area Network on my windows computer by typing in the I.P address in the library. Kindly guide me how i can use these files stored over the Local Area Network.

    I disabled GateKeeper's automatic blocking of unrecognised developers, and so I was able to install the driver.
    The Mobile Connect program is now installed, but the computer still does not recognise the modem.
    I also borrowed a USB hub from a friend and it didn't make a difference.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.
