SSD & Battery Life for Macbook Pro Mid 2012
Hi - can anyone give me a recommendation for a SSD drive (~500gb) for my mid-2012 Macbook Pro (purchased early 2014)? I put in an Intel 730 SSD and it took about an hour off of my battery life, so I'm looking for something else. I'd like the wattage for the SSD to be similar to the hard drive that came installed on the laptop, which is pasted below, or as close as possible to it.
