Hi everyone,
I got a good deal on a 13.3" Macbook Pro from 2012. It has the i5 3210M processor, the stock 500GB 5000rpm HDD, and the stock 4GB of 1600MHz ram.
I am planning on upgrading both the hard drive and ram.
I already have a 128GB M.2 drive at home, and I was thinking of buying a M.2 to SATA adapter and installing that inside the Macbook.
For example, I was looking at this adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/M-2-Converte...F8&qid=1523583298&sr=8-3&keywords=sata+to+m.2
I have this 42mm M.2 drive:
https://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD...&qid=1523583874&sr=1-4&keywords=m.2+128gb+ssd
Has anyone done this before? Is it advisable? If it is possible, what are the performance comparisons between the M.2 drive and SATA SSD?
Thanks!
