Also if you do something that requires heavy read write (not normal use but beyond normal use) OWC can run hot and extended use “could” be an issue. Note, the photo shows the new SSD drive installed in place of the old 5400RPM traditional hard. Keep in mind that there are a few gotchas with OWC drives, in 95% of cases they will be 100% fine however if your only looking to go from 128GB to 256GB EBaying a used OEM Apple drive may be cheaper (even 512 GB if you get lucky cost is comming down)Īlso the higher sized OWC drives are 2 Raided drives stuck together and the OS while it will inst to it just fine and will read it as one drive Bootcamp Will Not so if you use bootcamp OWC is not a good plan. The hard drive’s location within the mid-2012 MacBook Pro is circled in red within the next photo.
Besides, my mid-2014 is still working very well. Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch 'Core i5' 2. I have a new job that requires more computing power and a lot more storage, but I have no money to buy a new computer. Here is where it gets fun if a bigger drive is what you need then OWC or Apple is your source you can’t really just get a Samsung drive (yay for proprietary SSD port, there are converters though if you do some googling for Samsung drives that appear to work on pre 2015 systems but again I would ask someone else or google it I haven’t tried this one yet just know of it) I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) with 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory, Intel Iris 1536 MB graphics, and 128GB of Flash Storage. Replacing th drive is crazy simple and can be done in 5 min as for the special screwdriver they talk about amazon the damn thing or if you go OWC they will include it ( I got mine from Homedepot as part of a screwdriver set) Answer (1 of 7): I always recommend waiting about 30 days before upgrading as there have been machines that get a problem from the upgrade. For this purpose, it will be necessary to use the external EMC Number or the Model Identifier in software.
Now that you have given the 1/2 truth from Apple how about the truth. However, as the 'Mid-2012' and 'Early 2013' lines use one SSD, the 'Late 2013' and 'Mid-2014' lines another, and the 'Mid-2015' models yet another, the model number is not precise enough identification for the purpose of upgrading the SSD.
