connect the SSD to the adapter/dongle and plug it inī.

I suggest that you "prep and test" the new drive BEFORE you install it.Ī. You'll need a TORX T-6 driver to remove the "busses" on the old drive and secure them to the new one.
SOLID STATE DRIVE FOR MACBOOK PRO 2010 HOW TO
If you installed RAM, you already know how to take off the back. If you think the RAM "made a difference", wait until you try an SSD. The only working solutions came from Crucial in the form of M500s, which are WAY out of production.īe careful with your SSD selection on any Nvidia-chipset Mac. How many of these are out there nowadays is anyone's guess, but essentially, all of Samsung's, Intel's, Sandisk's, etc are out. You can google the issue, but here is a link to get you started:Įssentially, you need to find a Nvidia MCP-compatible SSD. There has not been a comprehensive attempt to figure out which modern SSDs since 2009-2010 era that works with the Nvidia MCP-series (79 and 89) since then. I also personally used this series of SSD on Nvidia MCP-series chipsets with success. The ONLY solutions at the time (a few years ago) that were confirmed working, without data corruption in a few months time (varies from 1 month or so to a few at the most) and without downlinking from SATA II to SATA I speeds were the Crucial M500s. It probably has absolutely nothing to do with your SSD. The problem is that the Nvidia controller can not properly negotiate SSD speeds and leads to both
This (SSD compatibility) is a CLASSIC issue with any Nvidia MCP-chipset based Macs, all circa 2008-2011ish. I'll quote what I said elsewhere on this matter:
