Hi... I have a Macbook Pro 13" Mid 12 wich currently has an 1TB HDD installed , I'm going to upgrade My HDD to SSD , I use Samsung 380 evo 1TB to replace my HDD, will it work?
Thanks in advice
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
Yes, the Samsung 850 evo will work however it is not supported on OSX.
You will need to enable "trim" support in OSX for Samsung SSD
Also if you need to update the firmware on the SSD and it can only be done in MS-Windows
The Samsung SSD's are designed for MS-Windows and are only Supported in MS-Windows computers.
I use a Samsung Evo 850 in my Macbook Pro mid-2012 before the Crucial MX300 came out.
It has been working fine in my Macbook with boot camp dual boot Sierra / MS-Windows-10
Has worked perfectly for two years now with no problems.
I can boot into MS-Windows and update the SSD firmware within MS-Windows.
Your best deal is to get an SSD that is supported in OSX
like an OWC SSD or Crucial MX300
These SSD's are supported and designed for OSX
You do not need to use trim suppport for these SSD's
and they offer an app to update the firmware within OSX.
Hello, take a look at this information, it should be useful for you Upgrading Your MacBook Pro with a Solid State Drive
I mean Samsung SSD 850 Evo 1TB
It should since it is a 2.5" form factor SSD.
As a side note, I prefer Crucial or OWC SSDs. There were problems in the past with Samsung SSDs in Macs. That may or may not be the case any more.
Ciao.
The "OWC SSD" or "Crucial MX200 or MX300" is supported in OS-X
The Samsung Evo 850 is not supported in OS-X.
but I've seen so many people upgrade their macbook using samsung ssd 850... and its working fine...
