Hi,
I would like to upgrade to a SSD. I have a 13'' MacBook Pro early 2011, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5. It's the first time I upgrade a computer and want to make sure I am buying a compatible drive. Would this Crucial MX100 256 GB 2.5'' fit in my mac?
Thank you very much,
Catherine
Yes, it will fit in your model.
So just reading through the reviews there on this SSD all the 5 stars seem very good. I searched specifically for "Mac".
Most of the one star reviews mention the "Acronis software provided by Crucial" so probably best to avoid that.
Personally I'm very partial to OWC:

I actually have the exact same model as you. I put a 120 SSD and bumped the RAM to 8 GB all from OWC.
I've done 5 machines so far all w/ parts from OWC. I did have a minor problem with the last one w/ it not being recognized by Disk Utility and when I called OWC they immediately offered me a return bar code. I sorted out the problem and it's been working fine.
You just need to figure if the $27.99 difference is worth the savings. In the OWC case you'd have someone to call immediately if you had a problem.
SSD upgrade Crucial MX100
