Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro 8.1 (13" early 2011), and I want to upgrade the HDD (320GB 5.400rpm) and the RAM (4GB, the base model).
I want to upgrade to 8GB RAM (2 modules of 4GB, correct me if I'm wrong) and something around 250GB SSD.
What do I buy? I'm looking for straightforward answers, I don not have special needs, and I would love some to the point answers because I imagine there are some “standards” that almost everyone buys, the “go-tos of RAM and SSD”.
With a brief search over the internet, I read that Samsung 850 Evo is a nice one for an SSD and it costs around 90€. About the RAM I don't know where to read. I don't know what SSDs and RAMs are supported/compatible, so I'm looking for the best possible of SSD and RAM, but again, I don't have any particular needs.
So... any straightforward answers are welcome, like “Yes, samsung 850 Evo, and two of this 4GB modules (link to amazon or something like that)”, or “No, the samsung gives problems (link about some story), better OWC, and this RAM”, etc.
Thank you in advance, and don't give too much thought to this
