Once screwed in, fit the SATA connection into the top of the SSD and then sit the SSD into the hard drive bay. Grab your new SSD and screw the four screws from the old drive into the sides, the same spots where the old drive had them originally. We will be using that in the optical drive caddy later on. Once screws are out, set the hard drive to the side. Unscrew all four screws and set them to the side. Once the hard drive is free, you will see that there are four small screws sticking out of the two long sides of the hard drive.
Open up System Preferences and Select "Time Machine." For more information about the Blu-Ray burner we bought, check out our blog on "How to Burn a Blu-Ray with Adobe Encore and Toast Titanium". This does mean that we no longer have a disc drive, but seriously, when is the last time you used your optical drive?! We bought an external Blu-Ray/DVD burner recently that is tiny and portable and can actually burn Blu-Rays, so we felt like it would be a much more valuable to get rid of the disc drive and almost double our storage space. It's amazingly fast and we're not quite sure why we didn't do this sooner. We went from one 750GB hard drive and 4GB of RAM to one 1TB SSD, one 750GB HD and 16GB of RAM. It took a total of about 35 minutes to swap the old hard drive with a Sandisk Solid State Drive, add in more Crucial RAM to max it out, and swap the optical disc drive with a caddy that holds the old hard drive. This last week we supercharged our our Macbook Pro (Mid-2012) and seriously could not be more pleased. In addition, you need a SATA to USB drive adapter in order to transfer the data from your present HDD to the new SSD.Hello everyone! Here is another how-to blog for your reading and learning pleasure. We recommend you use antistatic tools for installing the SSD wearing an antistatic wrist strap will enhance safety. The preparations and tools required for replacing a MacBook (Pro) drive are identical to those necessary for any other system (see our general upgrading tutorial for notebooks): you need to work on a clean, electrostatic-free surface. Mac users will need to download similar cloning software – we chose the shareware tool SuperDuper! and describe the cloning process in more detail using this tool.
The main difference to upgrading a Windows system is that the Samsung 850 PRO SSD (256GB) we chose comes with Windows migration software that guides the user through the cloning process (copying the Windows system plus the data to the new SSD).
