After a clean install and a few weeks, I had the same problem. Bear in mind you have a 2011 Mac which if a 15' or 17' will suffer from Radeongate at some point (the chips are crap), you'd be better saving money by buying either 1 TB spinning drive, or a smaller SSD and a larger HD (either external or in a caddy in the optical bay). I rebooted on the recovery partition, and tested my disk with Disk Utility. The performance is also significantly much faster than before. Last year I changed the disk to put a new Samsung SSD (Evo). Hynix SSD Information detected by OS X 10.8.2 Mountain LionĪfter upgrading to 8GB of RAM and replacing to SSD, it only takes 12 seconds to boot the system. The Hynix SSD model is SH910 2.5-inch SSD The Hynix RAM model is (2×4) GB of HMT451S6BMR8C-H9 Those are why I choose Hynix for both RAM and SSD.
Several tests prove that Hynix SSD performance is better than Samsung SSD in many categories such as speed. A simple tests shows that it is faster and just as reliable as rival Samsung 830. Released by SK Hynix on June 2012, it comes in a beautiful white box, the SSD design is pure white and gorgeous. I choose Hynix SSD because according to one source, it is the best SSD in the market. Why choosing Hynix? Though my default MacBook Pro’s RAM is Samsung I decided to choose Hynix because it is widely used by Apple in some of their MacBook and MacBook Pro computers with a cheaper price compared to Samsung brand so it undoubtedly works well on Mac computers. There are many RAM and SSD brands out there which reportedly work well on Mac such as Samsung, Hynix, and Corsair. Why do we pay more if we can get it for less? As long as the specification of the RAM or SSD are the same, it should work without any problem.
#Best ssd for macbook pro early 2011 upgrade#
Although the price is much more expensive than the HDD, the SSD offers four times faster than HDD in the read/write speed.īasically you can easily come to Apple retail store nearest to you to upgrade RAM or SSD but Apple may charge you four times or even more expensive than you purchase from general computer stores.
The RAM should be upgraded to at least 8 GB and the hard drive should be replaced with an SSD (Solid State Disk). I need to increase the performance of my macbook because I can’t deal with this condition.Īfter reading in several Mac forums, someone told me to upgrade both RAM and the hard drive. It took around 62 seconds to boot and ran virtual machine very slowly. Everything was fine until once time when I run virtualisation and coding using Eclipse, the macbook pro run very slow. I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro early 2011 which has 4 GB of RAM and 320 GB of HDD storage.
