Cloned my old boot SSD to this one after a lot of difficulty but in the process connected and disconnected it a lot and it still works fine. You will need to buy a ssd tray to mount in your case If your computer doesn't have one included as most are made for the bigger hdd. Will need mounting screws but most trays have them included. Also Sata and power cables too. Cloning a Boot drive: I'm just including this part incase you run into the same problems I did because none of the online solutions I found worked. I used this for Windows 7 with Macrium Reflect so it might work differently on Windows 10 with another software. I'm not an IT guy just someone who likes to mess around with computers so no guarantees it works for you but It did for me. If you don't already have a cloning software you can download Macrium Reflect it is free. 1) Connect the new drive and go into the windows search bar and search for Run and then enter diskmgmt.msc, it should show all the drives and you can find the one you just connected and if it isn't popping up in my computer you can see if it has been given a letter like C drive. If not right click and give it a letter. Sometimes the old boot drive will have 2 partitions. One labeled System Reserved and a regular one. Both will cloned but sometimes all are include in one partition. If you look in diskmgmt it will say Active, Boot, Crash Dump,etc. Under the partition that is used to Boot from. 2) After that is done open up the cloning program and clone. Once that is done go back into diskmgmt and right click on the partition to mark it as active. Now this is where it goes wrong sometimes. Turn off the computer and disconnect the old drive and when the computer starts look for which key you have to press to enter the Bios or Uefi settings so you can change the boot order. Sometimes the computer will just go through every drive by default but it's better if you go and find the drive you want it to boot from first which will be your new ssd. Now hopefully it works and starts and everything is good. If not like on mine you will have to move on to the next step. Now my problem was not because it was a bad boot record or file system compatibility issue. I tried all of those and there are guides for that. But my problem was that Windows would only recognize the System reserved on my new drive as being the place to boot from but not the regular partition. It would still only boot from the old partition on my old drive because it was labeled as Boot, Crash Dump etc. Marking it as Active didn't help because as far as I could figure out those labels were only placed when Windows was installed on the system and even without the old drive connected diskmgmt would not label it so. 1) You will need a Windows install USB or disc. If you don't have one you can try making a recovery disc from your old drive but I have not tried that way so I'm not sure if it will work. If that doesn't work try and find a torrent for your version of Windows. Don't worry about getting a product key or installing a crack you just need it to install Windows. Once you clone it will go back to your original install. 2) Format the new SSD. You may have to go unmark it as Active and switch the boot order back so that it will boot off your old drive. If like mine and it only recognized the System reserved on the new ssd it won't let you format until it goes back to recognizing the old drive. You may have to restart after marking it as inactive. Once you do that and format get a usb and download a program that will search for drivers as a clean install of windows might not have drivers and not let you connect to the internet. You can find one or if you want go to Windows on your old drive from my computer and look for Program files and copy the Macrium folder. Inside there should be a Application that is named Reflect and will launch the program without having to download on the new drive. If you used another program just put the install files into the USB. 3) Once formatted and you have the files on a USB disconnect all the drives except your new one and put in the Windows install CD or USB and install it on the drive. Once that is done and your on the windows homepage turn off the computer and plug in the old boot drive and see if it's boots to the new install of windows. If it doesn't fix the boot order. 4) Now open the cloning software and try cloning to the new drive now from the old one. If you are using Macrium it should say something about it can't do it and will need to restart and use Windows PE environment. Say yes and let it restart. It has to do this because unlike before where you tried cloning from the working drive to the new one now you are cloning to the working drive and it can't run windows and rewrite it at the same time. Let it load and then open the cloning software again and now it should clone and the partition will have the right labels as it was already marked so from it installing windows and all your old files should be there. If everything works now you should see that only the cloned part of the drive is popping up on my computer and all the extra space is unallocated in diskmgmt. Right click on the regular partition if your has 2 and choose to extend volume. Keep clicking yes and the extra space will be added. Sorry if this isn't as clear and concise as I would have liked but I found a lot of people with a similar problem after cloning a Boot drive and none of the articles or forums helped.

In this review, I am going to rate the WD SSD 500GB. The review will be on four main criteria, and I will mention what I liked, and what I didn’t like about the product. Furthermore, I will also share my experience and how I got the product up and running. This review is very detailed, so if you just need to upgrade MacBook Pro, just scroll down to “Upgrade”. This review has been written on the day I had the product running. This review has not been sponsored by WD, and it is solely my own experience and tips I’d like to share. Price: No one can argue that this SSD is fairly priced. I can say it is definitely worth the investment. The value for money is just ridiculous. Quality: Even though this product will be stuck underneath the laptop case, but the plastic feels solid, and it came well packed. Speed: Using BlackMagic Disk Speed Utility, I got the result of 276.7 MB/s write and 504.6 MB/s read. Not quite the promised but good enough. Besides, since this is a 3rd party tool and not embedded in the operating system I don’t expect exact results. Performance: Generally, after replacing my drive, I found out that it made my mac at least 5-8 times faster. Moving large files is instant, starting applications and everything else is much quicker. ----------------------------- Upgrade for MacBook Pro 13 inch ( Mid 2012 model - Non-Retina ) ~~~~~~~~~~ I bought this SDD to upgrade my MacBook Pro 13 inch (Mid-2012 model). This Apple MacBook model is essentially the last model with the upgradable disk. Some other models are upgradable with M2 SSD. So, if your MacBook Pro is a mid-2012 or below, it is most likely upgradable. For non-Apple devices, you need to look up your model and check if this SSD is suitable. Amazon offers a handy tool to do so. This guide will only help for Macs. ~~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: I shall not be held responsible for any damages to the drives or loss of data as a result of your mistakes in the process. You are to do this upgrade at your responsibility, and you hold all the risks associated with the upgrade. *It is however advised to backup your data ( mainly the most important ) and to watch other tutorials to have a better idea of the procedure. This is only a guide with the concept of the procedure and is LACKING SOME STEPS. **Basic knowledge of how partitioning and how disk drives work may be important. ~~~~~~~~~~ Before anything, you need to decide the size of the disk. My original was a 500GB spinning drive (HDD), and I bought the 500GB SSD. If you decide that you need more storage, the OSX installation is skipped. Just keep in mind that this could be a major investment in your computer, so if you are left with something between 0-75 GB, you might want to consider getting a bigger sized drive. Step 1: Restart your Mac and press (CMD + R) to enter recovery mode. Go to desk utility and check your currently installed drive (should appear under internal), check the Partition style. Mine showed APFS, but it may be another like Mac OS (Journaled). Step 2: Take the new SSD drive and put it in an enclosure for USB connection. I used the AmazonBasics enclosure, the price and the quality are great. Plug it into the mac’s USB. The drive should appear under external. Step 3: Erase the new drive and format with the format identical to the original drive. (CONFIRM THAT IT IS THE EXTERNAL DRIVE). You can give the new drive any name but try to go for something unique so you don’t confuse it with the current drive. Step 4 A: If you chose an SSD with size larger than your current drive, you can just go back to the EXTERNAL drive in the disk utility and click restore. Then choose the current internal drive as the source. This will fully clone your old drive to the new drive. Step 4 B: If you chose an SSD with size equivalent or smaller than your current drive ( note: You can’t cram 400GB of data into a 250 GB drive), you need to go back to the main recovery page and click on reinstall OS. It will ask you which drive to install into for this case choose the EXTERNAL ( whatever you named it). It will then reinstall the operating system. Next, It will then ask you if you want to get data from another drive just choose the current drive (INTERNAL). Tick everything to get a full copy (Trash is not copied). Step 5: The time it takes usually takes a while depending on your data. After you confirm that the new drive is working fine, you can swap the drives. (You can find step-by-step tutorials on Youtube) —————— Pros: It is Excellent. That’s it. Cons: Not sure if I should consider this as a drawback but more of a ”would be handy to have”. I think if WD supplied software to assist in the logistics of moving data, it would have been really fantastic. As an IT, I don’t trust free 3rd-party software, and if I went for paid software, it would cost high. Otherwise, there is absolutely none. Overall: I think this product is really great, it will give life to ancient computers, and I totally recommend it. You can buy it without hesitation. Other products you may consider (That I've been also considering, but haven't tried) : Sandisk Ultra Kingston A400

The heading pretty much tells it all. These are very light weight and very easy to install. Pop the old one out and insert the new SSD. They use much less power than a rotary HDD so it's less taxing on your power system. If you use battery power, this device will allow you much more time before you have to recharge. They took a cloning from my old HDD and worked perfectly. It booted right up like nothing had changed except, instead of waiting for 3-4 minutes for my laptop to boot up. it now boots up in 20 seconds!! I couldn't believe it... What an improvement! I barely have time to pick up my keyboard. So I bought another one and changed my other drive out as well. Talk about speeding up your gaming and processing. I am ecstatic. I will never go back to rotary HDDs again. I've recommended these to many people. It's well worth the money.

The overall process was pretty easy to copy the hard disk using the offered software (Acronis True Image). If you're doing this for a laptop make sure to get a SATA to USB cable to connect the new SSD to make a drive clone. Make sure to download the software from the western digital website link. The other thing that isn't made clear in the instructions for the software is you need to initialize the SSD first after you connect it to your computer so the Acronis software will recognize the drive. After that, it's smooth sailing. It sped up the operation of my old Lenovo thinkpad running windows 10 which had become extremely slow. Boot up speeds and response are much better now and have extended the life of an out dated laptop. Hopefully this SSD will last at least the 5 years listed and maybe more
