What size SSD does the 13 inch 2012 entry-level MacBook Pro use?

I want to upgrade my 2012 13" MacBook Pro to use an SSD. I know that MacBooks use 2.5 inch laptop drives, but what are the sizes that MacBooks support?
12.5mm, 9mm or 7.5mm etc...?

Most if not all SSDs are of the 9mm size and have a rubber bumper on them to make them taller, the 12.5 size. you can take the bumper system off most of them to make them fit into a 9mm space. But your Mac will take any size UP To 12.5mm. Not so for the optical bay.

    Thanks!

    It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

  • Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    I searched for docs and specs but can't seem to come with anything. Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    Well, obviously you have NO faith in me or you wouldn't ask.
    Go to the Apple Store online. Search for laptop power products and look for Apple's replacement AC adaptors. One is the 60 watt model for MacBooks. The other is the 85 watt adaptor - now read this very carefully because it's in smaller, lighter print - which says for 15" and 17" MacBook Pros. Will you take Apple's word?

  • Would the entry level macbook pro 13" MD101 be good enough for working in After Effects

    Hi guys,
    Im looking to purchase the entry level Macbook pro MD 101 for personal uses. I do quite a bit of video rendering and animation - basic stuff in after effects and sometimes Final Cut Pro.
    So I was wondering, with the specs the current 13" pro has (2.5GHz i5) would that be enough for me to run after effects and get the job done without me having to throw my macbook on the ground from frustration?
    I am currently using the OLD 15" Macbook Pro - late 2008 model (Silver design 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB DDR2 SDRAM) and its working alright for both FCP and AE.
    Would this 13" Pro give slightly better performance? Or round about the same?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yep, cannot upgrade the 13" graphics.
    The graphics card doesn't help with final rendering, it does help while working on the project, i.e. preview compositions before rendering.
    The 15" is still a better purchase for final rendering as well, the quadcore processor will certainly be much faster. However, if your only concern is with rendering, the 13" is still ok.
    The graphics card can help with rendering if used with nvidia cuda

  • What size fan does the HPE h8-1234 use?

    Ive been trying to search for what fan size (in mm) the exchaust fan is but cant seem to find anything. So if anyone knows how big it is, reply please .
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    It's really easy to find. The rear fan is called the system fan and it's part # is 646679-001. It can be a Foxconn PVA092G12M (92mm x 92mm x 25mm) with specs of DC12 Volt 0. 24 Amp, 45 CFM, and 3-PIN.
    Now for the insane and complex. No where does anyone know the RPM on this fan. You'll see ratings from 900-2800, 1400-4000 RPM.
    The best I can recommend is that you use this program, CPUID HWMonitor to actually find your fan rpm. FANIN1 is the rear fan. A low RPM fan will trip the fault sensor. You'll need to run the program, and then stress the system to bring the fan up to higher speed.

  • Is the 15inch entry level MacBook pro with retina display available for purchase instore?

    I know that if the buy option says I stock you can pick it up from the store. But has anyone bought the new. MacBook pro retina display instores??
    I going to buy one very soon, and I'm confused why the apple website says shipping is 3-4 weeks. Is that only for customizations??

    MacMall (online) has the base model in stock, I believe. And various users around here have found the in Apple Stores, at Best Buy, etc. Amazon also had some in stock the last time I looked.

  • What size superdrive does the 2011 13" MBP use?

  • Re: What size fan does the HPE h8-1234 use?

    Hey, are you sure the h8 1234 wouldn't use an AM3+ cooler? Doesn't it have an AM3+ socket? Sorry, pretty sure mine does and I'm looking to upgrade my fan after upgrading my Video Card and I want one that'll be compatible and fit into the stock case

    To simplify your question:
    The rear case fan (aka system fan) is a 92mm x 92mm x25mm thick fan. It is a standard 3 wire fan. Do not pick a quiet type fan, as the low rpm will fault your system.  You can check your existing fan's speed with CPUIDHWMonitor, fan is FANIN1.
    Now the other part of your question:
    The rear case fan attaches to the SYSFAN header. Just follow the lead. It does not have anything to do with the AM3+ or LGA 1155/1156 type socket.  That is where you have confusion. In general, adding a faster case fan should assist in lowering overall temps in the case.

  • Does the battery protection system run on MacBook Pro?

    Sorry guys, if I didn't phrase it properly.
    I remember on a PowerBook, when the battery reaches 100%, the charge stops and the battery level starts to drop till 95% and it'll start charging again. But I realize that my MBP always stay at 100%. Isn't that a bad thing?
    Thank you!
    Colin

    It does drop on my macbook all the way down to 95% when it begins to charge again. You might have a bad battery. But I can confirm that battery acts the same way as on my powerbok g4 DL.

  • ¿el complemento fan control daña mi macbook pro? Does the fan control plug damaged my macbook pro?

    Agradezco que me saquen de esta duda.

    Hi Phelusia,
    Your fan(s) are always running when the computer is turned on and not in sleep mode. At an idle fan speed (~2000 RPM) you should not be able to hear the fans unless there's a problem with the fan assembly. If there's an audible noise then it's possible that the fan needs to be replaced, especially if you're also having cooling issues with the machine.
    You can run the Apple software update on the Windows side to see if there any new drivers available and you can also run 3rd party 'fan management' programs to try and address any cooling issues. But as you encountered, Apple won't do much to support the Windows side of things.
    I suspect there might be an issue with one (or both) of the fans or a temperature sensor in the machine that's causing things to not behave properly.

  • Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

    The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
    The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
    both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
    The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
    Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
    both have 802ac wifi
    both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
    both are slim profiles and SSD
    The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
    ....and of course the retina display
    both are now "very good for travel"
    Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
    You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc.   Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
    The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
    The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
    Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display” 
    Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
    Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little,  the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
    As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
    there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.

    A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
    what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD  are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density

  • How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012

    How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012.
    I want to know how much Apple will charge for this (if they even do this since I don't see it on their website).

    Apple does not upgrade parts of a machine - they'll have it repaired under warranty, but no upgrades. You can, however, take it to an authorized service provider; no idea how much they would charge.
    You can also do this yourself - here is an installation video:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_retinadisplay_late12_unibo dy_ssd/
    I bought one of their SSDs and installed it in my 2012 MBP (not retina) - very easy to do. If you want to go this way, post back for instructions on how to clone your current drive which will make things super easy.

    New non-retina 15" MBP, I just replaced the 500 gb HD with a Samsung 830 256 gb SSD from Amazon, $255 for the kit (includes a USB cable).  Wow.  What a difference.  Yes, there was a learning curve for some of it, but was so worth it.  Let me know if I can help.  I'm using the 500 gb in 2 partitions - one for a clone of the SSD, and one for Time Machine.
