Upgrading MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2010) Hard Drive and RAM
Hi, All!
Before I get started here are the specifications for my system:
MacBook 13 Inch, Mid 2010 (White)
Model: A1342
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Serial Number: 451244SHF5W
Software: OS X El Captain
OK heres what I researched and understand based on my research from an archived Apple.com page, ifixit.com and crucial.com and some reviews I read as well:
According to ifixit.com it saying that the most this computer can handle is a 750 GB Hard Drive, yet I go to Crucial.com and when I look at the SSD (Which I can't afford) says this computer can be installed with a 1 TB SSD. Does this mean I could install a 1 TB Hard Drive? Can this computer handle a second 500 GB Hard Drive at All? My Second Question is in regards to the memory Now I go to apple.com a page that is archived page and no longer updated by Apple, It says the most that this computer will handle is 2 GB to 4 GB. I am just not convinced. Isn't possible to upgrade to 8GB - 16 GB or more on a system like this? I am only curious, I bought this from a retailer on eBay who refurbishes Apple laptops and I bought this for a family member. If none of these upgrades are possible I am sending this computer back and getting my money back. Thanks for the help. I need an answer like by the end of today! ASAP.
