What SSD should i choose for an macbook pro 17inch early 2011?

i have been hearing great things from the samsung series, and i was going to choose this one
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=84666 39&CatId=5300
Also i have another question, will this also help with heating issues i have sometimes? for example i use programs like final cut pro x and adobe premire, and apple motion, after effects, and if i do intensvie things it will sometimes overheat, causing some lag in the programs, espically if i work on 1920x1080 footage if im just cutting up clips, i use my SMC fan control alot to cool it down and it helps, but it ***** i have to turn it on as soon as i open up a program cause i know the fans will rise
Also my overheating issues sometimes go into the browsers i use, chrome and firefox, if im on a very flashy website or watching videos, it will heat and my vids and websites will lag and glitch, it ***** i have to use safari cause of this, my only qualm with safari it is not quick enough, pages load slower, and images loading up are super slow, but atleast with safari videos play good, and i dont get any heating up, i will say i had no problem using chrome and firefox, before upgrading to mavericks and now it just heats up and lags,
or does this depends on my video card and ram?
Here are my specs
Processor  2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory  8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
Serial Number  C0******F92
Software  OS X 10.9.2 (13C1021)
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

oh and another thing, it doesnt heat up when the programs or browsers set idle, and if im doing not to heavy editing in my programs
thanks in advance

  • What brand of SSD should i buy for my macbook pro 13 early 2011

    im interesting in upgrade my early 2011 macbook pro 13inch ... what brand of memory ram and ssd should i buy? having in consideration speed, and quality, issues free.
    thnak you
    sorry for my bad english ..

    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    I recommend buying RAM from:
    OWC
    DataMem
    Crucial.com
    I would stick to SSDs like the OCZ Vertex 3, Samsung 840, or OWC Mercury 6G. You may also care to look at the DataDoubler from OWC. A bracket that lets you install both an SSD and your existing HDD in the optical bay by removing the DVD drive.

  • Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

    Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

    you can upgrade to 16GB if you wish to do so...
    average price for 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 is around $50 - $75 depending on the brand.
    why not spend $100 and go with 16GB 1333MHz from Crucial or Corsair.
    you can get them from Amazon.com or newegg.com
    see image below with 16GB Patriot Mac Series 1333MHz for $100.

  • I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

    I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

    You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
    Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
    God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
    And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.

  • Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    Can't install SMC Firmware Update for my MacBook Pro 15" early 2011

    Check your Network control panel and turn off Auto-Proxy setting.
    This is one of the top #4 "how can they do this' pet-peeve errors.
    The other is the often slow 8 hrs to download 600MB even on 10Mb+ cable.
    Another, 'the drive cannot be partitioned because there isn't enough contiguous unfragemented free space; some files are locked and cannot be moved."
    If auto proxy isn't it, router/modem and DNS settings.

    Hi, a brand new Crucial SSD in a brand new 2.5" USB3 enclosure won't mount on my Macbook Pro 13" early 2011.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    Try different USB cables.
    Try a different enclosure.
    Try all USB ports.
    Try it on another Mac.
    Is no success, the SSD may be DOA.

  • What monitor should I get for my Macbook Pro?

    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro
    I want to get an external monitor
    What spec monitor should I get?
    The only thing I'm worried about is getting the correct connection
    I'm assuming I want a monitor that will take DVI connection
    ALSO: would I need to buy a DVI connector - would the monitor come with this?
    Aside... are there any specific (non Apple) monitors that are widely used by everyone?
    I read another thread and there where a few names pop up like a Dell model
    Thanks
    Omar

    thanks for the reply
    i was looking at this model: http://benq.co.uk/product/monitor/gl2450hm
    i choose this one because it had a response time of 2ms
    other monitors have a response time of 5ms
    i assumed this would mean fast action graphics would display better?
    any thoughts?
    (+ this is £120 on amazon - others are roughly £140 starting price)
    ALSO... does it matter what i connect to - DVI or HDMI?
    is one better than the other?
    i already have a hdmi connector... so am assuming i will be ok with this and not bother with dvi?
    thanks

  • What display should I get for my macbook pro?

    Hey Guys. I think this is in the correct section.
    So I have a Macbook Pro (specs at the bottom) and I am looking to add an external monitor to use as a second monitor and at other times a screen for my playstation. I have never had a monitor before so not sure how big? What resolution? What ppi? HD, UHD, 4K? Someone said something about refresh rate. I have no idea what that is. None of this stuff I know.
    Obviously I want the best screen I can have and I would connect my Macbook to it by HDMI using a Thunderbolt to HDMI converter and connect my ps3 to it by HDMI.
    What is the highest resolution a HDMI/Thunderbolt can handle?
    What screen should I get?
    Also I connected it up to my TV once and if I put my mouse at the bottom of the screen and then moved it onto my macbook screen it disapeared and didn't appear again until I moved it up and I don't want this problem
    How can i solve this?
    All help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks.      Miles.

    The apple thunderbolt display is £900 which to me seems an extremely large amount of money to spend on a display ?

  • What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?, What upgrades should I get for my MacBook pro for video editing?

    Hi,
    i am a student and I will use my MacBook pro to edit my movies, I will go to a film school and I think the preview of my previous works has to be professionally done. But I don't know what upgrades should I get to make the editing smooth, and have enough storage.

    as an hobbyist on a shoestring budget, but with the head in the sky, based on my own experience:
    8GB Ram is ok, 16GB is nice
    most important, aside 'skills': …
    <voice of Steve Balmer> ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD, ext HDD!!!
    I'm handling here 4k material on a MacMini, which doesn't even have a dedicated GPU. In Multicam.
    Distribute your materials on several hard drives, make a plan first, before editing, what & where, you get instantly messy and lost without a plan.
    What mentioned before: back ups! I'm not shy using a 99€ Raid0 (=two 2.5" drives + Disk Utility's feature, to create 'software raids' ) - Raid0 are NoGo for pros, 'cause it doubles the chance to 'crash' - no prob for me, having my backups - inconvenient to reload everything - but I'm no News Room
    For professional 'look' care for the other stuff :
    tripod with 'fluid head', lights, more lights, ND filters set, ext. microphone(s) at last a shotgun and a lav, ext audio recorder (I'm abusing my ol' iPhone4 and a tiny box called iRig, which offer XLR connector), did I mention lights? , a good bag and a waterproof, lockable aluminium box, soft boxes for light, maybe a shoulder rig (starting at 80€), 200sq ft of some green cloth for green screening (if your school doesn't offer a 'studio') FCPX does marvel with even really bad lighted green screens, those handy foldable 'brighteners'/reflectors, to bounce light ('Rembrandt lightning') … finally tons of odds and ends, starting with gaffer tape, ending with SDcards ...
    And DO things, try things, play with your stuff, make experiments just for the trash bin!
    Enjoy your film school (I'm envy… )

  • Should I get Windows 7 or 8 for my Macbook Pro 13" early 2011

    Hey All,
    I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice what which version of Windows I should get. My plan is that I wanted to learn some beginning program stuff that might (in the future) progress into more advanced computer programming. I decided for myself that it would be best to start learning on Windows software, but I didn't feel the need to purchase an entirely brand new computer since my macbook pro is so great.
    I've been reading on bootcamp stuff, and it seems as though bootcamp does not yet support windows 8.1 (which would have been my first choice). Since I cannot currently use 8.1, what might be the next best solution? Should I just go with the supported windows 8 and just wait to update to 8.1 when bootcamp finally supports it? Or should I perhaps go the safer route and go with the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (which I heard was still good as far as windows goes).
    I'm hesitant on the Windows 8 option becasue I had heard a lot of complaints about it, and I don't know how long it would be until Apple updates Bootcamp to support it. My only fear with the Windows 7 option is that it will become outdated much faster than previous versions of windows (just because it seems like there was a big jump from windows 7 to windows 8).
    Any thoughts would be helpful. Any specific insight as to which version might be better for me to learn computer programming on is a definite plus. The specs for my mac should be listed below, but I'm also planning on upgrading to a Seagate 1TB solid state hybrid drive SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-inch ST000LM014. Also, I have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB.
    Thanks!!!

    Would these be the correct discs to use?: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004Q0PT3I
    Seems like a reasonable price....besides "pirate free" of course.

  • What is this next to the heatsink (Macbook Pro 13 early 2011)

    I was wondering what this is. Is it a GPU? It also connects tov a  smaller square on the left.
    Thanks!

    I've actually been looking into this quite a lot. I know that when Windows goes into the Hibernate, all of the contents on RAM are transferred to the primary HDD/SSD so all power can be cut off to it. I'm not sure if Apple does this with Macs. Usually, it would take a lot of time for the computer to start back up from hibernation since all of the contents have to be tranferred back. There is one thing, however, that I do know for certain. If you have multiple applications or a intensive application open/running in the background, that will cause your Mac to take longer to go to sleep. The same goes for when your Mac is very hot.
    My advice is to close apps you don't need open and get an app from the App Store called Memory Clean. It will clean your RAM of any unneeded contents.

  • Best Internal Hard Drive Update for Macbook Pro 13" early 2011?

    Hey everyone,
    I was just wondering if anyone could give me their opinon as to what might be the best hard drive to update on for a Macbook Pro 13" early 2011 model. My budget is about $100, and i'm looking to increase the size of my current hard drive (which is a 320gb hard drive). I know that SSD are out of my budget range as anything even reasonably priced only gives me about 200+ gb of memory. I'm wondering if anyone has had any particular experience with the Seagate 1TB solid state hybrid drive (found here: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Solid-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ). It boasts SSD-like speeds at a fraction of the cost, and its right around my budget, but perhaps its too good to be true? I saw the other thread about this hard drive question, but it didn't seem like anyone had any personal experience with it.
    Anyways, just wondering if this one here is a truly a good deal, or if anyone has any better suggestions? Thanks in advance!!!
    ********P.S. Just as a side note, I'm wanting to increase the storage on my computer because i'm wanting to use bootcamp to install windows, and I want an ample amount of space to store movies, games, pictures and music. Not sure if this is even relevant, but i'm wanting to start doing a little bit of beginners programming stuff, so i want to make sure that i'll have enough empty space on my hard drive to do whatever it is i need to do. As it is, I've got about 62gb in movies, 81gb in photos, 41gb in music and 14gb in apps.....I'm really pushing the limits of my storage......*****************

    I have two of those Seagate SSHDs, using one as the internal drive in my primary MBP.  Boot and shutoff times are dramatically less than before (using 7200 rpm HGST HDDs).  In other respects, I have no complaints regarding the drive performance.  I can recommend them based on my limited experience (~3 months).  The $99 price does look very attractive.
    Note that when you install a HDD of larger capacity in a MBP, it should be reflected in your backup strategy.  Do you have a backup drive to accommodate the additional data that you will be able to store on the new internal HDD?
    Ciao.

    what kind of external drive should I get for my macbook pro for backups and storage

    Hi, i have a Mercury Elite-AL Pro from OWC, www.otherworldcomputung.com
    this is the one;
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEAQ7S1TB32M/
    have had this for over two years, moved around a lot with the drive, ( to date ) no problems, they have good after sales support; give them a call if you need info.
    There are a lot of drives out there as others here will let you know, there are good NAME drives but they also fail, POPULAR drives also fail, select the one you are happy with for your system and how you plan to use.
    i suggest if $ is not a problem get a big drive you will find someting to put on it and is better.
    hope this helps.
