Put some ssd on macbook pro 13. Installing SSD and another HDD. Chi needs no introduction
And without that, not budgetary prices for Macbook Pro in our country have been aggravated by the economic crisis. Podbag - allow your own new Apple-laptop Pro-series can only people with wealth. Ale scho robit "real students", how to dirty a laptop with a "apple" on board? The point is obvious - buy a used model without any fights, even a Macbook Pro will be safe with the coolest stuffing with a great deal in the future.
Let's talk about the Macbook Pro 2012 year and try to find a sufficient model of the current fuse, thus securing Apple for 5 years.
The Macbook Pro model range is not so simple, for example, the iPhone range is the rule: one rіk / one device does not work here. Often Apple gets in the way of releasing a couple of "Pros", and sometimes finds it to reveal three. In order to differentiate the models, they should be called early, mid and late.
But with the Apple Macbook Pro 2012, you won’t get lost in the early and late releases, the presentation of the Proshek in that part was only one, and it happened to go to the middle of 2012. !) will be podіl "diagonally". Macbook Pro 2012 is available in models with 13 and 15-inch screen. I, it would seem, it would be easy to understand, where you get lost here. That's just the way it is, the axis of only the 15-inch version of Proshka took off more of the stuffing, which is smaller brother. Well, let's get to grips with Apple's trick.
Chi needs no introduction
Ale, let's improve our description from a simple one - from design. Here you can’t figure out anything. The old look of Apple-notebooks has seriously not changed once in the entire history - the succulent-metal case has been covered with sucrose-metal and is distinguished by a noble gray-brilliant color. Vishukanosti added a minimalistic design and the “apple” shines on the roof. Macbook Pro model 2012 without becoming a blame. All the more voiced trumps on the mist.
Well, let's talk about changes in the old look, let's guess that the 2012 models have become lighter and thinner than the Proshek 2011 year, moreover, the display frames have changed. But in the realities of 2017, the fate of the positive change can be assessed smoothly, because in five years the frames have obviously become smaller, and the case is lighter and thinner.
rozsip roses
Vtіm, nesuchasny looking - do not zavzhd nedolіk. Axis, for example, roses, for example, such Apples are treated with special cynicism - it’s a shame, an “apple” giant to cultivate aesthetics in a small number of ports (like a city with a transition is beautiful).
In the remaining current model of Macbook Pro, only USB sockets in a number of pieces and audio roses were "included". Chi varto say that Apple-fans were embarrassed. Well, take a look at the Macbook Pro 2012 and have a laugh - because there are not only roses here, it’s practical for any taste, but you can still get a drive for disks!
І one more business card
Design is not the only immortal thing for the Macbook Pro - up to the pluses of Apple laptops, if they do not lose relevance throughout the entire history, the release can also include an extension - the keyboard and the trackpad.
The trackpad, first for everything, is noteworthy, that the wine is great and work on the new one with ease, you forget about the mice in graphical add-ons. Well, and, obviously, vin chuyny - it sounds right away instantly.
The keyboard also deserves the highest rating. Firstly, for the rahunok of the keys of a handy expansion and with a comfortable stand between them. Respect, you can see the advantages and up to a compact 13-inch model. And one more thing - the keyboard can be changed.
Chi no retina
Steel, vtim, do not be envious. So, in 2012, Apple laptop fans checked and believed that the "apple" giant to introduce the first Macbook with Retina display, prote here all the checks for an unacceptable surprise.
No, obviously, the screen of the Macbook Pro 2012, as well as the screen of some other kind of attachment with an "apple" on board - good and without Retina-clearness, but, as it seems, the siege is all the same. Still, a premium laptop, why not be generous with a Retina display?! Ale scho already too much to remember, let's concentrate more on the merits.
Regardless of the "archaic" clarity - 1280 by 800 dots for the 13-inch model and 1400 by 900 for the 15-inch model, the screen cannot but rejoice - the transfer of color is excellent, it is great to look around, it is bright and contrast. Zagalom, the koristuvach is not able to get along completely and without your vaunted “retini”.
Still spry?
Vtіm, yakbi mi bought a laptop "five", the screen, so chi іnakshe, not bv bi main іnteresom. Well, wait a minute, even if the main moment here is productivity, or rather, nutrition, quick speed and without lag, can a laptop “with a run” (and not a small one) cope with daily tasks?
So easy! Same as Macbook Pro. Accept, as if to venerate the vіdgukam vіdgukam vyzhivanih old Proshek. Axis, for example, one view video commentary.
No, obviously, there's nothing to say that the Macbook Pro 2012 is now easier to find the most modern utilities. However, zapevnyaemo, zі standard office zavdannya, browsering and simple rozvagami, nachebto watch movies and listen to music, the device vporaetsya with a bang.
Look at the characteristics. The 13-inch model is equipped with a 2-core Intel Core i5 processor (clock - 2.5 GHz) or i7 (clock 2.9 GHz) in the stock as a complete set, in the heart of the 15-inch - 4-core Intel Core i7 (clock 2, 3 GHz) or 4-core Intel Core i7 (clock 2.6 GHz).
RAM Macbook Pro i 13, i 15 inches in 2012 - 4 or 8 GB in stock as a complete set. ROM - 500 or 750 GB.
Like bachite, the stuffing is generally not bad, add to it the optimized mac OS, and you will understand why the good old Prosheks call them sprites and even accept them in the "splikuvanni".
On the icy ice
One of the most subtle moments in the use of a used device is, obviously, the battery mill. And here we are talking about those that are laid on the cob, hardly varto. However, for the sake of justice - autonomy Macbook Pro 2012 - 7 years. Today Proshki can stretch without recharging for longer, but still compete with competitors - 7 years is the figure of authority.
All the same, you know that the battery can be in power and it’s unknown, in which country you will get away. It’s a pity, I didn’t see it when I bought it - it’s like, obviously, a lot of scammers didn’t order a test drive.
From the other side, so chi іnakshe, the battery is a thing to replace easily. Wanting to “simply” have a succulent-metal corpus that is understandable. That Apple technology is not friendly to repair. And then there is the “vіk” Macbook Pro 2012 - a good thing, because the older “apple” is better for the new maintainability parameters.
Kupuvati chi don't kupuvati - axis in what food
Obviously, a used device - no need to power it. But let's not talk about smart vipadki, if the buyers are obviously looking for aggressive operation of the gadget.
Our meta - to give you an idea, the characteristics of the Macbook Pro 5 years ago are similar to today's tasks and like the classic Apple "buns" this laptop can be safe.
Well, the main trump card on the spot is a stylish design and a built-in addition - a keyboard and a trackpad. And if you talk about productivity, then it’s necessary to change the context here. Joke a laptop for classic office tasks, browsering and development? Todi pledged in 2012 as a hero of ours I look around the potential to hit you with your head. But if you still need a robot in “important” additions, and if you want a “Litav” laptop, then, obviously, varto will be surprised to what it is.
A number of points are also significant.
The obvious shortcoming of the Macbook Pro 2012 is the lack of a Retina display. The advantage is obvious - there is a large number of roses in pairs with modern Proshka, and also in pairs with them the best maintainability, which allows you to upgrade your Macbook Pro. Well, the obvious point is autonomy, if you want maximum mobility, as stated in the official parameters, better for everything, you will have to replace the battery.
In general, as a matter of fact, the picture is positive, and, once again, if you put classic everyday tasks in front of your laptop, we would recommend the Macbook Pro 2012 to take. I guess you have seen the model at a reasonable price and in a presentable modern look.
In the basic configuration of the McaBook Pro, Apple installs hard disks for 5400 rpm. І їх productivity with current operating systems Mac OS X (10.6-10.8) is too short. And it’s not for nothing that Apple step by step, but it’s encouraged, to switch to installing ssd accumulators in laptops.
We appreciate that the time has come to spruce up your love for your MacBook. It is necessary to install everything into a new SSD accumulator. And if you don't need to confuse the ssd, you can install another hard drive on the DVD drive.
Which laptop models are suitable for decision? - So, practically up to all MacBook and MacBook Pro cream MacBook Pro Retina
| SSD 120Gb | SSD 240Gb | SSD 500Gb | SSD 1Tb | SSD 2Tb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 000 rub | 12 000 rub | 20 000 rub | 55 000 rub | 94 600 rubles |
Notebooks have a combination of read / write speeds from / to a hard disk with a disk spindle speed of 5400 wraps / cold. not reach 50 Mb / sec. Disk for 7200 revolutions / speed to chew your MacBook may be twice: the speed of reading / recording can be in the range of 80 ... 105 Mb / sec.
Varto indicate that there are Seagate hybrid hard disks on the market, in the design of such a hard disk at 7200 rpm. / Xv z 16Mb data cache and 8Gb ssd storage. With such a “combination” disk, the speed of reading / recording can be increased by 5-7% in pairs with a 7200 rpm sound disk. / Hv.
Indicators of ssd-accumulators according to the read / write parameter are adjusted from type to type and from model to model. Until then, the prices for ssd-storage still have not reached the level that can be compared with the most powerful hard disks. The price gradually drops, and the top ssds with a volume of 500 and 960 GB are approaching the mark of $ 1 for 1 GB of storage.
The OS of Mac OS X is also a compact operating system, and in the set of more necessary programs, the disk space does not exceed 30-50GB, you can safely be surprised to ssd with a volume of 120GB and more.
If you want, in our opinion, you can already look at ssd with a volume of 180GB and more.
The very reason why ssd is available at a lower price is between more coristuvachs in the direction of choosing a better ssd - we suggest you take a look at the option of high speed ssd and good capacity hdd installed on a DVD drive.
To upgrade the Apple MacBook Pro 2011-2012 for release, we will need 3 screws: torx 6, torx 8 and a Philips 00 or 000 cross screw.
Remember! Before sorting out, I’ll build a trace of a surplus static electrician for myself.
On the lower krishtsi there are 10 gvintivs, 3 of which can make a great dove.
This is what a MacBook Pro 13" looks like in the middle
The first step is to change in the laptop configuration, it is necessary to change the battery according to the system board. We don’t want you to start a repair with a replacement of the system fee after a short flicker?
An ssd-accumulator can be installed on the place of a regular “full” hard disk, and we can put the old disk in optibay on the place of the DVD drive. We have installed a new disk with a capacity of 750 GB for 7200 revolutions in our optibey, with the method of increasing the speed when accessing the data of the coristuvach, as we plan to save it on the hdd.
We can see two guints on the plane, like a hard disc.
4 screws (torx 8) around the perimeter of the "old" hard drive are portable to ssd storage.
We install ssd on the system disk space and fix it with a bar on two screws.
We install a hard disk in the optibey and obov'yazkovo prying it out of the back side with two screws.
We know the optical drive.
We need 5 loops.
Robimo tse duzhe neatly.
included
- hard drive cable
- optical drive cable
- wi-fi cable
- camera cable
- speaker cable
Rotate the speaker and move the antenna out of the Wi-Fi module and move the speaker to the side.
DVD Superdrive. Vіdkruchuєmo three gvinta and vityaguєmo yogo.
We can rearrange the data cable and the hood of the dvd-drive on the optibay for the direct installation of the hood.
Install optibay with a hard disk on a dvd drive.
We install back the plastic bar of the speaker and connect the antenna to the Wi-Fi module.
Connect in the return sequence a loop and cable to the system board. І connect the battery.
Close and screw the bottom cover.
We install the system from the original advanced storage or through the Mac OS X authentication system via the Internet (by speeding up the Cmd + R combination when the computer is captured).
Now, in the order of the Vlasnik, even a swedish Apple MacBook Pro 2011 release: the system itself and all the programs are launched in the same time, lower than the regular hdd. The system vodgukuetsya mittevo. With a significant amount of critical additions, there are no fading and suspension of the “spinning of a colorful ice plant”. Programs that hack the cache of working data, work on great files without any hiccups. And during the processing of the arc of the great arrays of information, the hour of the countdown was short (for the words of the laptop’s file manager) by 2-3 times.
Varto once again indicate that the hard disk is surrounded by physical capabilities for reading / writing on spinning metal plates. To this reason, "throughput building" does not exceed 115 megabytes / sec. (at the shortest tip). The ssd has only a few mechanical elements, so the speed of reading / writing on ssd can reach 550 megabytes / sec. Є variant theoretically increase the value up to 1.2 Gigabytes / sec. .) and are exchanged with another of the same RAID array on the same Thunderbolt bus.
As a master of Apple Mac Pro - you can install more ssd-storage, build a great RAID-array (alternatively, check that it will not be hardware, but programmable, so you will not use a special RAID controller). You can reach the theoretical speed of data transfer up to 750 megabytes / sec (which shows the speed of data exchange over sata-bus 6 gigabit / sec).
In the next article, we will tell you about those, how to install Fusion Drive on Apple laptops with two and more installed hard disks. In our practical view, Fusion Drive looks like a robotic combination of SSD + HDD.
The article was prepared \u200b\u200b for the results of the repair work of the MacFix Service Center.
The choice of installing an SSD on a MacBook in our service center
| SSD 120Gb | SSD 240Gb | SSD 500Gb | SSD 1Tb | SSD 2Tb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 000 rub | 12 000 rub | 20 000 rub | 55 000 rub | 94 600 rubles |
We replaced the thermal paste (I don’t remember exactly how) and the cooling system was cleaned.
I don’t care for the whole life of that SSD - I left it with the main one, so for the first hour I simply didn’t mention the difference in the behavior of the computer. Lately, however, friezes began to appear and, as everyone knows OS X, the “radius wheel of death” began to appear. In this material, I tell you about the maintenance of my main working laptop in 2013, and share the evidence of its operation.
The text can avenge and sing-songly avenge grammatical, spelling, punctuation and other types of pardons, including meanings. I strongly ask the readers to ask for pardons and correct me for additional special reassurance.
What is MacBook Pro mid 2012 (MD101) today?
Significant increase in the speed of the robot was not marked, with a slight increase in the speed of copying the files in the middle of the disk. From the other side, I decided to get 250 GB of memory, and from the improvement of the double setting to 120 - I’ll have to save my reserve for a long time. I don’t particularly get over the arrogance, because today the technology of solid-state storage has been brought to a high level, and in the extreme case, the laptop itself can make backups in Time Machine. For those who suffer, I will designate that the system will be locked to the desktop (with the password entered) will be captured in 20 seconds.
We have a bag in front of us with a yakіsny and shvidky SSD for a reasonable price. Right now, Imovirno, local prices are stabilizing and buying from China will cease to be a flooring, but until there is a proposal for a PC upgrade, which I have succumbed to.
Time for technical inspection!
Well, I know, choose thermoplastics from the minds of the back to the viroble MOT. Virishalnoy in tsomu nutrition was the article on. I won the GD900 contest on Aliexpress for a total of 3 dollars, in order to secure myself the necessary consumables for a few years ahead. Tim more in order to get to know Windows 10 and today's games in the nearest future, I plan to pick up an inexpensive home PC.What is the cost temperature regime in the rest of the window. With constant work with a browser and a basic set of add-ons, the temperature on the CPU stays in the region of 65-67 degrees Celsius, which is enough for a laptop. When exporting photos or videos, the processor heats up to 80-85 degrees, and the Kochegar video core goes up to 110 degrees.
During the testing process, the temperature was fixed by the help of the program, and the maximum system engagement was reached by the help on the basis of LINPACK Benchmark.
After the computer was turned on and the programs were launched with auto-adaptation, the CPU temperature stabilized at 52ºC, the graphics processor was already approaching 70. 35 degrees. The launch of the required set of software (2-4 windows of chrome with 20+ tabs, messengers) will add 15-20ºC indicators, the cooler speed will not increase, and the laptop will be heated to the initial (lower) 40 degrees. In this mode, I spend 95% of an hour at the computer.
Run CPUBurn. The lower graphic core \u200b\u200b reaches the 100ºC mark (1), and the CO slowly begins to manifest itself (3.5k revolutions). Even through the whip, the standard cooler reaches the maximum 6000 rpm (2) and is noticeably buzzing. The case of the laptop after 10 hvilin "weeping" (3) did not heat up more than 45 degrees. The maximum fixed graphics temperature is 105 degrees, the processor is 77ºC. Such temperatures are trimmed for a few seconds, until the cooler expands to the maximum speed. All tests were carried out with a FullHD monitor connected, the temperature of the graphics core in similar tests without a monitor drops by 3-5 degrees down.

It's time to change the thermal paste. A good guide on sorting is available from iFixit, but I can only guess that the first thing you need to know about the protection of the mother's payment is the inclusion of the battery and you can continue to continue the preparations.
Judging by the amount of sawing from maintenance, I tightened the troch.

As if the excesses of the front thermal grease looked like this:
In the process of cleaning, I got so drunk that I forgot about the need for a photo, so I got stuck behind the scenes. Thermal paste after applying a drop, the benefit of pressure at the radiator is vіdminniy.
now pro temperature mode after replacing the thermal grease. The result, in principle, is in disguise. Just after turning on the PC, the temperature on the graph. the core dropped by 4-5 degrees, although the CPU was noticeably cold. After the launch of the necessary software package, everything falls into place - insults show off in the middle "fell" by 10%.
When "burning" for the help of CPUBurn, the situation also changed a little. The way to the sign of 100 degrees (1) on the graphics core took more than an hour (about 5 minutes), and then after reaching the temperature, the cooler spins up to 2.5 thousand revolutions, and the laptop becomes silent. Even after 10 minutes of testing, the temperature indicator did not rise above 100 degrees, but CO \u200b\u200b gradually reached 4000 rpm (from the maximum six) and the temperature dropped slightly (2). Manually setting the maximum cooler wraps (3) lowers the GPU temperature to 83 degrees. Before replacing the thermal paste, the indicator was at 100ºC.
