Hi, I’m using MacBook Pro 13" (Mid 2012) Non-Retina. Lately the harddisk (the one that comes along when I bought it, 750gb Toshiba) is showing some problems (Unable to boot up, unable to detect hdd and so on).
I suspect the hard disk will fail on me soon. I would like to change to SSD (prefer speed over storage capacity for now)
I’m looking at Intel 530 Series 240GB 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive.
I understand that some MBP is very picky on SSD, anyone have any experience in using this drive on MBP 2012 model? Or there is other reliable and compatible SSD model?

Please share/help.

Thank you.

suspect your problem is almost similar with mine. except i havent replace the hdd.
i think your mac is trying to boot using the pendrive.
can you try remove any pendrive/thumb drive or any sd card/removable media and try to start again?

anyway, here's the guide from apple on what to do when you see the question mark thing.
