This video was shot during a recent Macbook Pro Upgrade. The video displays a 13-inch non-retina Macbook Pro but the process will be very similar for the 15-inch non-retina Macbook Pro. The Macbook Pro in this video is the latest, 2012 model but the process should be the same for older, unibody, non-retina Macbook Pros. The 2010 Macbook Pro & 2011 Macbook Pro share the same body type.
I’m still a big fan of the non-retina Macbook Pro models because they offer user upgrades unlike the retina Macbook Pro. In this video you’ll see an SSD upgrade, RAM upgrade & optical drive bay adapter installation.
For full pictures & upgrade instructions for the Macbook Pro visit this page & use it in conjunction with my video -

Watching in November of 2018; thinking of buying a 2011 pro doing this upgrade
Can I just buy the one ssd and the hard drive caddy and use my current hdd for storage and with the ssd put the system boot on?
Aah when Lou was great
I’ve used Tardisk to update my mac air2014 SSD, however, my mac is slow when running a lot of programs, so i think it’s time to change the RAM as well. do you know if this RAM-you used in the video-compatible with may mac?
Thank you so much for this video 🙂
so how do you boot from your new ssd instead of the old hdd?
how do you know if you have a retina mac book or not?
I need that optical drive, because mine is broken 🙁
2019 anyone?
Its amazing how macbook pros retain their value even a decade later. I just upgraded to an ssd and 8gb and still run software piblished today. Tho this last mac os says it can’t run on a 2010.
DO MORE OF THIS KIND OF THING
Thanks very useful!!! G0t an additi0nal kn0wlegdge,
What is the purpose of replacing the optical drive with an SSD ?
Hi. I installed a second ssd on my 13′ 2011 MBP OS High Sierra. Not thinking at all the new SSD needed formatting. Took it out, formatted it using a HD Dock thru usb. Put it back in the casing and back into my MBP. Turned it on. Still no second SSD. Any clue what I’m missing?
It is still useful 2019 December!
2020 anyone?
Time to work on that 2012 MacBook Pro. 🙃
Should i back up the data on the optical drive before i upgrade it to hdd?
I’m working on my MacBook Pro 15 Mid 2010 in 2020
Hi I have a question: If instead HDD was put at the optical drive area, and SSD in the main drive area can you still boot up your OS with HDD being at optical drive, and just clone everything to the SSD once it’s booted, or you would have to install the OS on SSD first (from USB stick or Wi-Fi) ? Thanks in advance
which is this model that have been showing on this video.
UNREAL! I was just about to give up on my MacBook Pro Early 2011 as I was unable to open two windowes in Safari without it stalling on me! I upgraded my HD to the Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD and same Value Select 16GB RAM. SUPERFAST!
Old Boot time: 175 seconds
New Boot time: 5 seconds!
Can I do this in a MacBook Pro (Mid. 2014). Upgrade to 2TB SSD and 32Gigas RAM? Is it possible? I Hope!
2020 anyone?
2020 anyone?
