SSD Installation Early 2011 Macbook Pro 13 inch

Mac users wanting to increase the speed and performance of their older machine or new machine should consider the SSD drive update. I have added a SSD drive from OWC which is 240 GB. This has made a significant difference in boot times, saving documents, and editing video. It makes opening and running applications much faster. Especially, have seen a increase in speed for Photoshop, iMovie, and others. So if you are a gamer you definitely will enjoy the speed increases.

All Tools Involved Below

The setup up isn’t as much trouble as you would think. I replaced my HD with the OWC 240 GB SSD, and the data doubler to be used with HD in optical bay. My optical drive was removed and installed the original HD. nIt really isn’t all that difficult. Here is the task broken into steps.

4. Add HD into data doubler
