Do I need to clone my hard drive?
I have the MacBook Pro, MD101B/A, Intel Core i5, 500GB, 4GB RAM, 13.3". I plan on taking out the hard drive and installing a 1TB SSD. There are no files on the laptop that I want to keep. Can I just erase the hard drive and put in my SSD? Or do I still need to clone my hard drive? Cheers!- thickofit
