Hello Apple friends, any tips how to optimize the MX500 (500GB for the PC, 1TB for my Late 2015 5K iMac 2TB Fusion but only the hardisk is working. The 1TB will be run on a USB 3.0 external dock back up first then I'll open up the iMac later, I do have a 1TB NVME, so later it'll be 2TB total no...

Hi I am looking for SSD upgrade with Sintech adapter I am thinking about Crucial P5 1TB, is any better drive with good performance/power ratio for my laptop?

I used Anker NVME enclosure (RTL9210B-CG USB 3.1 Gen2) w/ crucial 1TB P2 NVME drive for external storage. After I backup 3 of my iOS devices (using symlink) to my M1 and eject the drive, the drive could no longer mount to both M1 and an Intel Mac. The mac sees the usb chipset, but it just does...

So I bought this ram: Crucial 8GB 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Laptop Memory Model CT8G4SFRA266 It's not stated as mac compatible, but since it'd already arrived, I went ahead to try it out. It's inserted into slots 1 and 3. Set the original ram in 2 and 4. However, the speed...

(mid-2011) I installed two 2 gig RAMS, from OWC, in the empty slots, and they seated properly. But then the Mac wouldn't power back up! I removed them and voila, it powers up. I contacted OWC, they suggested cleaning the contacts :0. It's brand new, the contacts aren't dirty. I had previously...

Crucial is saying DDR4 is compatible with Mac Pro 2013. Anyone who can verify?

I just got my hands on a MacBook Pro mid-2009 thats in very good condition. I've decided to to upgrade it as much as possible (as per advice I've received on these forums) as it's very slow. Specs are: MacBook Pro 13" mid-2009 Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3...

Hi. Just finished installing extra Crucial ram in my new 2017 iMac, but I'm a bit concerned about how much force was needed. I ended up pushing VERY firmly down using two finger, to the point there was a few very slight plasticky creaking nosies from the inside. I might just be being OCD with my...

Hi there! I know there have been a load of threads about SSDs and MacBook Pro and TRIM - but my question and situation is slightly different. I am a travel photographer and have had my MBP (mid-2012) since it was first released. Last week, the HDD began to show signs of mechanical failure...

I've installed a new SSD drive in a mid 2012 Macbook Pro. The drive is a Crucial MX300 525GB SSD. I'm on Sierra 10.12.4. There seems to be some disagreement on whether you should enable TRIM or not. Crucial appears to have some built in garbage collection in the firmware but it requires the...

Hey, I own a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012, Memory: 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 When I click on "Memory upgrade instruction" in my Macbook Pro, it states the following: "Base memory 4 GB Maximum memory 8 GB Memory card specifications - Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR3)...

Hi there, I'm looking at upgrading my iMac's RAM (27 inch, Late 2012, 8GB). I just checked on Crucial and it is saying I can upgrade it to 16GB, but my iMac has four slots, so why is 32GB not being offered as an option? Any advice, as always, greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello there! As I wrote in another thread, I recently performed a clean install of 10.11.2 on my 2011 MBP, coming from a 10.8.x installation... quite the upgrade! For the occasion I also switched my internal drive from the original spinning drive to a brand new 512gb Crucial MX100 I had lying...
