I’m utilizing a MBP Retina 13” Late 2012 (MBP10,2) (I do know, very previous, however nonetheless operating nice and really easy with the most recent Ubuntu) with a 121 GB APPLE SSD SM128E – which is kind of small, notably contemplating that I’ve a macOS/Ubuntu twin boot setup and a few audio enhancing software program…
Additionally, we nonetheless have my good friend’s previous MBP 15” Mid 2009 (MBP5,4). Ages in the past, we upgraded it with a 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO which nonetheless works wonderful. Now I might like to modify the SSDs of each computer systems. The 2009 MBP remains to be used typically as a ‘backup’ for some older offline software program and its DVD drive, however 121 GB could be completely enough.
I do know there may be issues with bodily compatibility of the SSDs, however all I discovered on-line appeared a bit ambiguos so I am undecided: (How) is it potential to trade the SSD drives of those laptops? I discovered this query (Macbook Professional Retina 13 (late 2012) SSD substitute, placing in a SATA 2.5′ SSD drive?) which gave me the impression that even ‘MBP Retina 13” Late 2012’ will not be particular sufficient to make sure in regards to the SATA kind or one thing, so now I’m confused find out how to positively discover out which one I’ve. Additionally, I could not discover out which plug kind the 2009 MBP has.
If they aren’t suitable, I’d attempt an adapter for the 2012 MBP, however is there additionally an adampter ‘vice versa’ for putting in the 121 GB SSD within the 2009 MBP?
Anybody have any experiences with that or ideas concerning compatibility/adapters? If it is solely potential with two adapters: Would you suggest it?
