La instalación es muy sencilla y viene bien detallada en el propio folleto del kit. Además ahora tengo un disco duro externo de pequeño tamaño y capacidad aceptable que también es muy rápido (se aprovecha el antiguo ssd como disco duro externo en la carcasa que viene con el kit. No sólo he aumentado la capacidad del disco sino que se han incrementado la velocidad y rendimiento del ordenador. Aproveché para hacerlo en el momento en que la batería ha dado problemas para no tener que abrirlo dos veces y creo que debía haberlo hecho mucho antes.
2011 MACBOOK AIR SSD UPGRADE UPGRADE
A super upgrade for a sensible price.Ĭompré este kit al que tenía echado el ojo hace un par de años para actualizar el tamaño del disco duro de mi macbook air de mediados de 2011. I have anyway bought the $10 Trim Enabler which includes SMART diagnostics and if I ever need to, I'd switch TRIM on for a day to let space be reclaimed, but I don't envisage doing that for a long time. Frankly, the SSD can outrun other 2010 MacBook disk electronics in any case so it is somewhat academic. I've now got so much space and enough left over for garbage collection that the TRIM optimisations pale into insignificance. Apple don't allow non certified kernel extensions. Since Yosemite, TRIM support isn't directly available for non Apple SSDs except via a utility called TRIM Enabler. Stop reading here if this all seems like Martian. Something else.TRIM Support - a facility to optimise SSD garbage collection. AND I've still got the original drive now in a neat little (supplied) enclosure. Yay - it all works and I've now got 960Gb of disk with 824Gb still available. Option R reboot to change the boot disk to the new one. One screw to undo to remove the old SSD and put in the new one - note a different supplied screwdriver for this singe screw. The inside of the 4 year old macbook was really clean!! Otherwise I'd have cleaned it. TIP: I also arranged the screws in a square matching their original location for replacement.
Then shutdown and selecting the correct supplied screwdriver tor gently open the back. It worked fine - surprising me slightly because it was across the USB connection. (Hold option key during restart and select the relevant disk). I then tried a reboot from the new cloned SSD before I opened the machine. I should point out that the old MacBook is only USB 2.0 so the copy took a couple of hours.
Main reason is that it handles any errors better and I did find a few during the copy. Instead of using Drive Manager to clone the original disk, I used Carbon Copy Cloner. In my case it was an old 2010 MacBook Air running Yosemite. Well packaged product includes everything needed to swap the SSD.
