Does this procedure break any seals/stickers that will void warranty? Basically, will Apple know if I opened my Macbook up if something goes wrong? (I will place my old HDD back in there)
did you forget to tell them to clone the HDD? ooops? clone would be a lot easier then re-installing the entire OS... Nice try tho... And SSD for a 256GB your looking at 300 dollars on ebay. I saw some for 275 dollars no cheaper... But one can get a smaller for less but still a bit expensive.. ESP... to put one in a mac that's worth over 2 grand new and not to have a ssd... Well thats just right out robbery... :)
Hi, want to ask if I can I just buy any 2.5" SSD and just begin or must I back up the data I have in the stock HDD before beginning due to system softwares and whatnots?
@BigDirtyBasterd this is why apple sells is too down compared to windows, imagine all companies like HP, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and etc work for windows PC and from other side is only apple to sell macs.. its a huge different.
btw am not hater because i like both of them and i do have iMac 2011, but this is the truth.
@theawesomeness9911 the original in mechanical so it has like a laser that writes coding onto this weord film stuff, adn ssd is basically super fast and large flash memory... for example the loading times on the new mac will be about 10X faster in some cases.
i already do all that but after every think my screen is not starting is all black ! but may hard disk and caps lock all working what i shod to do ????
@nowaas Most SSDs are great but for you i would suggest an OCZ Vertex 3 they are among the fastest SSDs Cost Effective Extremely Reliable and are great for every day use you can pick up a 120gb vertex 3 from newegg for under $200 trust me they are great search youtube for reviews, plus they work great with MBPs and are twice as fast as the manufacturers SSDs and half the price.
Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial - made the job an absolute doddle (and gave me the confidence to do it in the first place!). My MBP is a lot happier now!
@readyfire Why would you say that ? It's all down to the operating system you are most used to... I've used Windows for the past 12 years now and I could say the same about Mac OS X, that it's a piece of shit... But I wouldn't be saying that, probably if my first and only computer had OS X on it and I would have become used to it.. One final argument for me is the number of programs.. For each Mac OS X program out there, there are around 5000 more Windows programs.. and that's a WIN !
@harborskoolmaniac solid state drive. its a hard drive but with no moving parts is faster dosnt have to spin up to start reading or whatever. cost way more then a HDD but is worth every penny. boots up faster opens things up faster..
my macbook pro doesn't have a SSD, i believe its just a regular 320 GB drive, is SSD faster? or can i just upgrade to a regular drive with faster RPM?
Upgrading to SSD cost more, the advantage is performance and battery life improvement, cause there is no moving parts, upgrading to 7200rpm is not worth it for the speed, and it will shorten the battery life cause it uses more juice.
i hate apple and always will i showd my friend that bought the new imac this year how good a pc is and let him use mine and showed himm how good they are and now he hates his imac and usung it too and is going to sell it to buy a new pc.
@turtlecat77 Can't imagine it does. No warranty void stickers or anything, so no way for them to see if you did anything to it if you stick the old drive in before sending it in.
@ccj1496 Upgrading your harddrive may yeild More capacity to store files, faster throughput and slightly better access/seek time swhen upgrading the disk from 5400 to 7200 RPM or way afster throughput and access/seek times when upgradin to SSD.
@ciawondertrio Only if you take a lower speed in rpm, the size of how much files it can hold doesn't slow it down. For example your old drive is a 7200 rpm on and your new one is 5400 rpm, that would slow it down (amount of mb's per second).
When your upgrading make sure you clone your old drive onto the new one using a sata to usb adaptor, or reinstall osx on the new drive. You can use tools such as Carbon Copy cloner to clone it.
I knew I was exaggerating but I didn't know how much of an extent that I was, are you happy with the upgrade? Is it nice to have everything load up in less than 20 seconds now? I was very happy when I upgraded to my SSD.
Are you having any issues in regards to performance or firmware issues though? I've heard there were very bad issues with the firmware or performance offered by the Kingston SSDnow series. It was what persuaded me to go with another option.
I can see my spelling and grammar suck today!! What I meant to say was becuase of your greats videos I have placed an order today with OWC to do my RAM and HDDS for when my mac gets in. The new Sandybridge 15". BTW great nice vids you have. Most the youtubes vids are lame or just goofy, yours are very informative and I dont mind watching them at all.
Uhm.. did you use a Kingston (not apple made SSD(Cheaper then mac made SSD)) or is it something you bought a a mac store? please mail at tbc@youseeme.dk
@tomcrafter Apple doesn't make SSDs. He most likely bought the SSD from a local computer shop or online. You can use any SSD for a Macbook Pro, I would suggest buying one online from a reputable retailer as you would save a lot of money buying compared to buying it from the Apple store.
Great video. So after you installed it, you put the installation disc in and did it automatically boot to it, and you installed from disc to the SSD. Did you get a folder with a question when you first booted it up? Thanks in advance!
was the original one you took out a regular 5400rpm hd? like could i take my 13in macbook pro unibody (with a 250gb hard drive, not ssd) and put in an ssd drive? in other words, is it the same connection or do you need to buy the ssd macbook?
@jamesmaloneofficial SSD's have no moving parts, its literally a larger thumbdrive. its quiet (due to nomoving parts) and less heat is produced ,also its more rugged in the way if you drop it it wont get damaged if a HD was installed. A HD has a disk spinning normally at 5,400 or 7,200 RPM
So im buying a macbook pro 13 base, I heard it would be a better bang for my buck to buy a SSD and maybe go to 8 gigs of ram instead of paying for the 2.66 13. Do you agree with this? Also how much was that 256gb SSD you put in? Where did u buy it? And last question (sorry) you can just pop in your restore disc and load up the OS after this install?
@jsarver No as apple see's the hardrive and RAM as upgradable products, however changing the processor or disk drive will void the warranty. Ive upgraded my RAM from 4gb to 8gb and apple still took it in under warranty when I dropped my mbp and it got a dent :) Thumbs up so people can see this doesn't void the warranty!
@jsarver For my knowledge not really, you only void the warrenty when you open a dvd drive, or a hdd for example (theres a sticker on it most of the time that says warenty void if broken).
@jsarver apple warrenty is pretty useless, you have to pay for spare parts even though it is warranty. for other companies like dell, lenovo, they change the spare parts for you for free when your computer is in warranty status.
Just bought me a Macbook Pro 15" i7 Hi-res, with stock 500gb HDD and expect it to arrive next week. I also bought a Corsair Force F120 SSD hard drive, which I had delivered yesterday. The only reason why I didn't buy Macbook Pro with SSD from apple was because the delivery time. My school starts within 2 weeks so I had to get it fast.
So, when my Macbook arrives the first thing is to open it up and remove the HDD and replace it with the 120gb Corsair Force SSD, using you'r "How to video".
Really nice video. I dont even have a Macbook Pro yet, never used OS X for longer than 5 minutes and I already want to upgrade the HDD to a SSD. Thanks for making this helpfull guide. How is it actually with the (which people say) decreasing speed of the SSD?
oh and also where did you get it from? im thinking of ordering offof amazon? could you possibly give me a link straight to a 7200rpm SSD 256 GB please? much appreciated if possible :)
uno the hard drive u took out, it was 500 gb, isn't that better than the one u put in, in terms of storage? ssd is quicker but can it hold as much as the 500 gb? might be a stupid question but im just wondering :) and i wana throw a 7200rpm in my macbook pro i7 also, how do i do that?
@3aaadddzzz0 to put a 7200rpm HDD you'd follow the exact instructions of this video :) and yea 500GB is more but in this case it's quality over quantity. No moving parts more than double the read and write times, longer battery, cooler temps :)
@3aaadddzzz0 it doesnt hold as much as the 500 GB but it is much faster and he may not need 500 GB of space anyway. and installing a 7200rpm is the same way as he showed
Cool :) Just wondering once you installed the SSD did you have to do any firmware updates? If so, how did you do it? Then you just popped in your OS X install disc and reformatted and that was it? I ask because I've never done this before and will be doing this once I get my SSD.
for that matter...

Ive upgraded my RAM from 4gb to 8gb and apple still took it in under warranty when I dropped my mbp and it got a dent :) Thumbs up so people can see this doesn't void the warranty!

@jsarver For my knowledge not really, you only void the warrenty when you open a dvd drive, or a hdd for example (theres a sticker on it most of the time that says warenty void if broken).

@jsarver No, you just lose it for the harddrive, but you can install the old one to get this back

@jsarver No. It doesn't void the warranty, just any damage sustained whilst doing the upgrade will not be covered under AppleCare.

@jsarver apple warrenty is pretty useless, you have to pay for spare parts even though it is warranty. for other companies like dell, lenovo, they change the spare parts for you for free when your computer is in warranty status.

@jsarver Yes so it's probably good to keep the original drive just in case

Why does no one discuss how to transfer the data on the old hard drive to the new SSD?

Just bought me a Macbook Pro 15" i7 Hi-res, with stock 500gb HDD and expect it to arrive next week. I also bought a Corsair Force F120 SSD hard drive, which I had delivered yesterday. The only reason why I didn't buy Macbook Pro with SSD from apple was because the delivery time. My school starts within 2 weeks so I had to get it fast.
So, when my Macbook arrives the first thing is to open it up and remove the HDD and replace it with the 120gb Corsair Force SSD, using you'r "How to video".

Really nice video. I dont even have a Macbook Pro yet, never used OS X for longer than 5 minutes and I already want to upgrade the HDD to a SSD. Thanks for making this helpfull guide. How is it actually with the (which people say) decreasing speed of the SSD?

Shouldn't you remove the battery before doing anything inside the laptop?

uno the hard drive u took out, it was 500 gb, isn't that better than the one u put in, in terms of storage? ssd is quicker but can it hold as much as the 500 gb? might be a stupid question but im just wondering :) and i wana throw a 7200rpm in my macbook pro i7 also, how do i do that?
3aaadddzzz0 1 year ago
@3aaadddzzz0 to put a 7200rpm HDD you'd follow the exact instructions of this video :) and yea 500GB is more but in this case it's quality over quantity. No moving parts more than double the read and write times, longer battery, cooler temps :)

@3aaadddzzz0 it doesnt hold as much as the 500 GB but it is much faster and he may not need 500 GB of space anyway. and installing a 7200rpm is the same way as he showed

Cool :) Just wondering once you installed the SSD did you have to do any firmware updates? If so, how did you do it? Then you just popped in your OS X install disc and reformatted and that was it? I ask because I've never done this before and will be doing this once I get my SSD.
