SSD for MacBook Pro

[Neoni]

Yep. Perfectly easy enough, the SSD should run just like any normal HDD. Some ssd come as an upgrade kit with usb to sata cables but if you have a caddy then use that.

As for carbon copy, it certainly will work but there's differing advice as to whether it's the best option, especially when migrating over to a SSD from a HDD. You can use carbon copy, another option if you have an external is to do a time machine backup, then boot up using your OS disk and use the utility to restore from that Time machine backup onto your new SSD.

My personal recommendation would be to always go for a completely new and clean install. Get it updated and THEN to use the migration assistant utility to transfer over your previous data. A clean install is just generally safer and leaner than a carbon copy.

I upgraded my Macbook Pro 15" with an Samsung 840 SSD and it flies, only problem i had is that when i exchanged the superdrive for the HDD caddy version and HDD 750 drive i somehow shorted out the SATA cable for it and the only place to buy was from china on a well know auction site
Anybody ele had the issue?
