[Mac] MacBook Pro 2011 Late SSD Replacement

Image
[Preface] The original storage of my MacBook Pro 2011 is a 5400-rpm 500G HDD from Hitachi, which is not fast enough nowadays. And I heard that there are some changes of MacOS architecture have been made, if the reading speed of the drive is not fast enough, then it will take more time to boot on. This MacBook Pro was for my dad, that he can use it at home, but he rarely use it. So, he give it to me for my university propose, such as coding, demo, or presentation, etc. This MacBook Pro was quite expensive and actually the equipment was not bad at that time, but just needs a little upgrade. This is the overview of the MacBook Pro. And let's move forward. ▼Macbook Pro overview ▼Has upgraded RAM before (4 to 8). ▼Umm.. really need a upgrade..
