I’m utilizing a MBP Retina 13” Late 2012 (MBP10,2) (I do know, very previous, however nonetheless operating nice and really easy with the most recent Ubuntu) with a 121 GB APPLE SSD SM128E – which is sort of small, notably contemplating that I’ve a macOS/Ubuntu twin boot setup and a few audio modifying software program…
Additionally, we nonetheless have my pal’s previous MBP 15” Mid 2009 (MBP5,4). Ages in the past, we upgraded it with a 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO which nonetheless works high quality. Now I might like to change the SSDs of each computer systems. The 2009 MBP remains to be used typically as a ‘backup’ for some older offline software program and its DVD drive, however 121 GB could be completely enough.
I do know there is likely to be issues with bodily compatibility of the SSDs, however all I discovered on-line appeared a bit ambiguos so I am unsure: (How) is it potential to change the SSD drives of those laptops? I discovered this query (Macbook Professional Retina 13 (late 2012) SSD substitute, placing in a SATA 2.5′ SSD drive?) which gave me the impression that even ‘MBP Retina 13” Late 2012’ is just not particular sufficient to make sure in regards to the SATA kind or one thing, so now I’m confused the best way to undoubtedly discover out which one I’ve. Additionally, I could not discover out which plug kind the 2009 MBP has.
If they don’t seem to be suitable, I would attempt an adapter for the 2012 MBP, however is there additionally an adampter ‘vice versa’ for putting in the 121 GB SSD within the 2009 MBP?
Anybody have any experiences with that or ideas concerning compatibility/adapters? If it is solely potential with two adapters: Would you advocate it?
