Chosen Solution
Hi folks, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch running on High Sierra. Now, I do want to upgrade it to an SSD but unfortunately, Apple no longer supports my model when it comes to Mac OS Mojave(and consequently the future updates). So is it feasible to upgrade to the SSD since I’ll no longer be able to update my mac(or will I, please help)? I haven’t tried anything yet because I don’t wanna buy an SSD and get stuck with the same software till it becomes ancient lol. If I should get an upgrade, I’d like to do so with replacing my optical drive with SSD. So, can I do that too?
Yes, your model supports SATA III and will work with any 2.5” SSD on the market. Here’s the guide for a Late 2011 Dual Drive install. Installing an SSD will not allow you to upgrade past High Sierra however. It’s up to you whether or not its worth it to upgrade. You can find decent 500GB SSDs for around $50-$80 now which would be a huge boost to your performance. Meanwhile 2012 Unibody MBPs that support Mojave are still going for around $400-$700 even on the used market depending on specs. If you want something newer it’ll of course be even higher pricing. Personally, I probably would prefer to just upgrade to a new laptop that will last longer, software wise. But if budget is an issue, getting an MX500 or 960 Evo would be a great upgrade, even if it’ll only last maybe a couple more years.
Yes you can upgrade to SSD, i have a lot of that same model and when i put an SSD on it the process is so great.
Good evening There is a limit at the capacity of ssd disk??I need a lot of Gbs because i store music files. Thank you
