240GB 2.5" SSD Solid State Drive for Apple MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) (17-inch, Early 2011) (13-inch, Early 2011) Laptops

Purchased to replace the HD that I think the pros messed up while “fixing” it. It came sooner than expected in packaging that ensured no damage. Super easy to install and the performance was great out of the box.

I keep my 2011 Mac because it's the last to provide a slot and internal drive to play a DVD. Because I have outdoor movie nights, I don't need to be encumbered with an external DVD player and it just keeps things simple. (Movie Night is the only thing I use it for.) But, my hard drive died and needed replacing. The prices I was getting from Mac people to do the job seemed ridiculous to me, so I purchased this hard drive and the tools to complete it and did it myself. Let me tell you, I am no Technophile but this was a whole lot more simple to do than somewhat. It took less than ten minutes to complete and the computer works great. Mac wised up after the 2011 model and has since made changing out a hard drive far more complicated. Not sure if they did that on their own or by request from their dealers.

Good

Got this ssd in April for my 2011 MacBook Pro worked good for till now it jun not even 3 months an it dead …I woke up my MacBook an it froze on the log in so I rebooted it now it’s showing the folder icon the MacBook can’t find it I unplugged the ssd still nothing so I reinstalled my old hard dive to see if it was the ssd or just my MacBook messing up an it booted right up wound returned if i could vary dissatisfied >:(

This drive was a replacement for my son's old MacBook Pro (early 2011) with the traditional SATA drive. This drive came quickly, installed perfectly and runs absolutely like a dream. It, along with an upgrade in RAM made his MacBook run better than my 2017 MacBook Pro! I'm actually a little jealous of how fast this drive boots!

My wife's old early 2011 MacBook Pro was very, very slow. We has stopped using it, but she needed to find some photos she had saved. The wait time was untenable. I did some Google searches and watched a few YouTube videos and decided I could save the machine. The 480 GB was the only one on Amazon with the confirmed fit, so I ordered it and the cable. After a few more YouTube videos, I downloaded CCCleaner and SuperDuper for free. After running CCCleaner a couple of times and getting rid of clutter and duplications, I connected the cable and SSD and opened SuperDuper. It took about 2+ hours to transfer. Then I proceeded to remove the back of the machine. You need a 00 Phillips screwdriver and an 06 Torx and a plastic pry tool to disconnect the battery. I was careful to rub my hands on wood to avoid any static electricity. I had to go to WalMart and get a SmartPhone tool kit with an 06 Torx and plastic pry tool.Removal and replacing the drive took only a few minutes and presented no problem. Put it all back back together and powered it up. Stunned is the best way to describe my reaction. Checked the Boot Time before at 3:49, read at 46.2 and write at 36.8. After Boot Time at 1:07, read at 505 and write at 374. Net result, I had priced replacing the machine with a new one. Apple price $999 plus tax. Not a preferred option. Price of SSD and Cable $83 (Amazon Prime) delivered in about 3 days. Tool kit from Walmart $9.43. Savings, over $900 and the little machine is almost as fast as my iMac 27, display may be a little off from the new MacBook pro, but not much. OS is Lion, but for our needs it is a prefect solution.

I have a Macbook Pro 13" early 2011. Upgraded hard drive, RAM and battery. Hard drive fit perfect in the slot. I did look for a youtube video to install since this was my first time removing and installing hardware on my Macbook. Upgrading all these items, now my MacBook runs much faster than before. I don't use it much so it was much cheaper than buying a new one.

Product as described.
