Moderate

Mi Problema

Macbook Pro running very slow and near constant spinning beach ball of death so decided to upgrade to an SSD. Installed a 480 Corsair GS but Macbook would not recognize drive. Search lead to: http://www.gcsdblogs.org/roodhouse/?p=25...

Replaced SATA cable and works incredibly. Also the spinning beach ball of death is gone. I think the SBBOD problem was due to the SATA cable all the time as I tested it with my old spinning drive as well.

Mi SoluciĆ³n

Ordered pentalobe screwdriver at the same time as cable. Followed ifixit.com install instructions. Super easy!

Mi Consejo

Monkey see...Monkey do! Much less expensive than a new Macbook Pro! I now have an extra $2500 for Xmas. So long and thanks for all the fish!
