Buying a 3GB/sec drive will leave a lot of performance on the table. The "Pro" Model has a longer warranty: ġ) Your MBP was the first to have a 6GB/sec SATA drive bus. On the other hand, every question I've asked OWC over the last 15 years received a useful response in 24 hours of less.
It can take days to still not have a viable solution. Even if you buy directly from Samsung, you will find their support slow and not very helpful. It made the computer a pleasure to use again. On the other hand, we see very few issues posted about Crucial and OWC SSDs used in Macs. We see more issues than before with them. Back cover looks like it was pried off with a crowbar, feet are missing, but I don't care about that (installed 4 felt pads you can get for furniture or something).Īll in all, a really good machine for such a low overall price.ĮDIT: Initially, I was thinking the battery could easily hold the charge for 4 hours, but after testing it, it's more like 2-2.5 hours, so changing the battery might be a future improvement.Samsung used to the the gold standard for SSD upgrades but that seems to have changed. $100 in total, for a pretty darn good MacBook (also, this is my first Mac machine, I'm not a huge fan of the MacOS system, but for that low of a price, this was a steal, might manage to sell it for profit a bit later on if I get bored lol).īattery is okay, 367 cycles, holds for about 2-2.5 hours of browsing and youtube I'd say, never got to test it to the max.
I had to pay for their scrips since I couldn't get it to work with their manual process), removed the power resistor from the board (and got the sleep mod jumper installed as well, since I was planning to use High Sierra). I managed to score a 15" early 2011 MBP with 4GB of RAM and 500GB HDD with defective Radeon graphics for $65 just yesterday.īought a $20 120GB SSD, added a 4GB stick I had laying around (only up to 6 GB now, since it came with 2x2GB sticks, but I might get it up to 8GB, maybe even 16GB if needed).ĭisabled the Radeon graphics in the UEFI (using the RealMacMods.
