macbook pro mid 2012 SSD

Maybe I can help a little, Using an external storage device with Mac

External hard drives, thumb drives, USB drives, Flash memory cards, and devices like iPods are examples of storage devices that can be connected to your Mac using a Thunderbolt, USB, or FireWire cable, or connected wirelessly using Bluetooth.

Storage devices (such as external hard drives) may also be available on the network. Additionally, you can insert flash memory cards from cameras or other devices in the SDXC card slot on your Mac. If your Mac doesn't have a card slot, you can access the data on a flash memory card using a connected card reader.

After connecting the storage device, you can move files from Mac to storage device or from storage device to Mac.

Thanks

Hi,

USB 2.5inch SATA external enclosure suits your SSD to install and connect it to another computer via USB.

Is this a Retina or non-Retina 2012 MacBook Pro. There is a difference in what adaptor to use. The non-Retina has an optical drive.
