Looks a pretty good deal
I may get one myself

Anyone installed OCZ Vertex 4 on 2011 MBP? Care to share your experience?

Any SSD installed would increase the speed, say for example opening Safari now half bump already running.

If you are asking specifically about Vertex 4, then I'm not sure any here has used it in their Macbook yet. The only model that can use SSD such as Vertex would either have had changed to SSD or didn't think its worthwhile to do so.

Yea I;m asking specifically about Vertex 4 coz I read some aye and nay about it on MBP.

I'm using vertex 4 on my mac mini 2011. Absolutely loving it with no issues. Make sure u update to the latest firmware though.

Any recommendation on 8GB Ram Kits ? for the MBP15" 2012 non-Retina..

Purchased generic optibay from MierZ http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2137770 but too bad it doesn't fit my MBP 13' Early 2011 due to its protruding side. Anyone know which shop is selling MCE Optibay instead?

My Macbook HDD is now full. Should I get an external HDD or replace my internal HDD?

If you replace your internal hdd, the existing hdd will come out, buy a casing, it will become an external hdd as well.

So might as well get an external hdd for convenience.

I just upgraded my Early 2011 MBP 15" to 8GB RAM. I find 4GB RAM inadequate for nearly everything. It's even better now when I switch to Bootcamp Windows 7 to play my Steam games.

Should I upgrade to 16GB now? Just for the heck of it? I'm planning on selling my MBP soon and replacing it with an iMac 27" instead. (bought a MacBook Pro for 'mobility' but I never took it outside the room in the 1+ years I am in college). Thus the 16GB will be the selling point.

Right now Amazon is selling the Corsair 16GB DDR3 (2x8GB) for MBP's for only USD79.99. Should I go for it?

+ extra question,

is it possible to upgrade the HDD to SSD in a 15" MBP?

What I read in the review Corsair is not a good product.

Yes it is possible. Just buy a hdd caddy and done with it.

Greetings lowyat members,

Pardon my impoliteness by asking a question at my first post But I would appreciate any suggestion that you guys may have,

I am using a 13' Late MacBook Pro 2011, with a 2.4Ghz i5 core, 4Gb RAM.

The question im having is about upgrading my RAM to 16Gb (either 1600MHz or 1333Mhz)

Currently my RAM type & speed is DDR3 & 1333Mhz.

So the question is,

Would upgrading to 16Gb 16000Mhz rather than 16Gb 1333Mhz RAM be a decent thing to do? As in, how much difference would 16000Mhz or 1333Mhz make??

I have been reading here, that 16000Mhz apperantly works with late 2011 i5 core....

And if this post hasn't bore you already... another thing that i would like to know before buying RAM for my mac,
- how would i know what latency of RAM to get?
- how would i know what voltage of RAM should I get?

and most importantly....where can buy ~~


Note - I will be using the computer with parallels and doing a lot of biology analysis (so i need a big ram)

Thanks in advance, any help pointing to more detail would be great!

its better to use 1333Mhz since yours is 2011 Model.
just get Mac Memory modules, theyre Apple tested.
Peace of mind
you can get it from garage sales section

hi, noob question, my model is early 2011 mbp 15'...maximum capasity to upgrade ram is 8gb right?

Hi. My mbp 15in is mid 2009 model.
Anyone from that "era" had upgraded the C2Duo mbp to Mountain Lion? How is the performance - comparest Snow Leopard or Lion?
