    MP 1,1-5,1 Boot SSD periodically unmounting/remounting?

    The last two mornings, I've come into the office to find a MacOS notification admonishing me to properly eject my boot disk <Mac_SSD> before removing it. If seems, then, that for some unexplained reason, my boot SSD appears to be un-mounting itself in the middle of the night and then remounting...

    Mid-2010 MBP Hard drive cable failure

    Hey everyone, I recently started refurbing on my old 2010 MBP and have run in to some problems. First problem that I am having is the battery was bulging and pressing the trackpad up so that it would no longer click, but I have resolved that by simply removing the battery for now, and I intend...

    13" MBP mid-2010 - 4K Monitor Recommendation

    I have 13" Macbook Pro mid-2010 with 8 GB Ram and 1 TB SSD - Kind of exhausted all upgrades possible. I currently have Viewsonic 21" monitor which needs an upgrade. I would like to have 32" monitor, possibly 4K to future-proof. I can then use 21" in vertical mode with 32" 4K monitor - dual...

    Mid-2010 iMac CPU replacement

    It's alive! Swapped out the core i3-540 for an i5-680 using the guide from iFixit. According to a few benchmarks I found online, the i5 scores anywhere from 17% to 30% higher. By the seat of the pants, it feels a bit zippier. My Windows 10 virtual machine seems to boot a little faster. Overall...

    Issue with iMac SSD upgrade

    I recently upgraded my mid-2010 27" iMac with a new Samsung 850-Evo SSD and am running into a weird problem. The install was easy with the adapter I used from OWC with the thermal sensor, nothing out of the ordinary occurred, no breaks, no broken display cable. SMC and PRAM all reset. When I...

    Mid 2010 13-inch Mbp slow SSD performance

    Hi, I have a Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro that I upgraded with a OCZ Vertex 2 120GB (SATA 2) in late 2012. I also put 8GB of RAM in it at the same time. After more than 3 years of use I ran Blackmagic Disk Speed Test today and I am not getting over 100MB/s on either read or write (below). Is...

    Random restarts (Kernel Panic)

    Hi! I'm starting to get frustrated with these random restarts my MBP 15" (mid 2010) does. I am on Yosemite, have installed an SSD a few years back, and upgraded my rams from 4 to 8 about a year ago. I've had these random restarts for some months now. As I've read it could be a software that...
