From the extensive research I did, MacBooks from 2013, 2014, and 2015 have very few SSD upgrade options And newer MacBook Pro 20 models are not upgradable at all. Importance: this guide applies to mostly 2010, 20 MacBook Pros with standard 2.5-inch SATA drives. 2018: this post was initially published over a year ago, we are here to revamp the content just making sure the information in the article is accurate and fresh as the SSD market changes fast. But, it is now a legacy product and the company has several new better options like Crucial MX500.

I went with Crucial BX200 SSD (see below for my purchase receipt), and I’m quite happy with the performance it has brought to my Mac. I’m going to share with you a list of the best SSD drives for MacBook Pro, and show you how to replace the internal hard drive with the new one, step by step - so you waste no time and make no mistakes. If like me, you still love your older MacBook Pro (or yet to decide buying a new pricey MacBook), then this guide is for you. But if your MacBook starts to show its age, it’s probably not that speedy anymore.įortunately, for an older MacBook Pro (prior to 2013 models), there is a quick way to increase its performance - upgrading the internal hard drive to SSD (Solid State Drive). We all want our Mac computer to run fast.
