nkjmin Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hello! If you have a macbook pro before the retina displays came around you are able to do some interesting upgrades with them. Personally one of the biggest difference for a performance upgrade (on a day to day basis) is a SSD upgrade. Most of your tasks are going memory dependent (as in accessing your hard drive not RAM) so having a slow 5400rpm Harddrive is going to slow down your machine, Changing that to a Sold State really boosts the speed of your rig, from Booting to loading programs and such. So upgrade that SSD now to the HDD Caddy, One of the neat things about having the optical bay available in a laptop is that you are able to take them out and replace them with a HDD. In this case you will need a caddy that is able to mount on to the body of the Macbook pro. OWC was able to create said mount, (and i am sure there are other aftermarket products that would work perfectly fine) You are able to purchase the product ------------>here. <----------- look its a picture too =D Ref: Injected some new life into my 2009 MBP - MacRumors Forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
