1. Thank you
2. Thanks. I'm getting a "Password:" prompt after I paste the code into Terminal. I've tried several versions of the code, but all with the same outcome. Any advice?
3. hello, i wanna ask. what if i don't have usb installer, is it possible to install the OS?
4. Does it work for MacOS Sierra too?
5. I just completed this last night. Upgraded my Ram from 4 to 8gb, my storage from 320gb HD to 1TB SSD and restored from time machine on my MBP early 2011. It works GREAT! I am so happy with its performance now. Thanks for the video!
6. Thank you so much for posting this video! It single-handedly helped me install a new OS and bring new life to my early 2011 MBP. Thank you again and Happy New Year 2017!
7. Early 2011, A1278, 13 Inches MBP Unibody:
   
   Swapped Apple's 320GB Hard Drive with Samsung Evo850 250GB SSD Drive.
   I was getting about 40MB/s read and 25MB/s write speed with Apple hard drive.
   With Evo850, 250G I am getting around 240MB/s write and 510MB/s read speed.
   
   My MBP is now smooth.. very smooth... :)
8. For macoOS Sierra run this:
   
   sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createins­tallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sierra.app --nointeraction
   
   Remember: you will have to remove the dash that comes between "createins-­tallmedia" to "createins­tallmedia".
9. With all the data/files/photos/music left on your old hard drive, can you plug the old HD into the laptop via USB and drag and drop your old data/files/photos/music back onto your desktop?
10. Thanks a lot it helped really much!
11. how long does that apple screen with progress bar take?? Mine gets to the end and just sits there. i am not connected to internet at all. Put in new evo 850 ssd and new OWC16mb ram. feel like it is taking way too long to get past progress bar screen.
12. Thank you!!!! I followed this to install a new SSD in my 2008 iMac after the HD crashed. Works perfectly!
13. really it help me so much .. many thanks .
    bless you :)
14. Would the command ir terminal for sierra work if I type ...OS/X/Sierra.app/Contents/.... ?
15. I have a mid 2012 pro.
16. If I wanted to do a clean install on the new ssd can I just instal the hardware then have the option to install fresh OS? Or do I have to make a clone and all that BS. I am not worried about loosing any files. Will the Mac load up with a new ssd and give me the option to install a clean OS?
17. Can i install osx sierra on a SSD, if i change my working macintosh HDD to a caddy (to have 2 drives) and a new SSD where the original HDD was. Then boot up in the old one and format SSD and open the osx sierra install, and select the SSD and install it, then select to boot from SSD?
18. what do I do when Im getting Corrupted or Damaged during Downloading ? Im installing from usb to new ssd
19. Your install command didn't work for my late 2007 17" But the trim command did so thank you. For others looking
    I found a command that worked great at A Alexander "How to install an SSD with Yosemite / El Capitan on Macbook Pro.
    He has several variants listed & the last one worked for me.
20. Thanks helped a lot !
