  1. They changed the interface of disk utility on the newer OSes. Will this method put the restore partition back?
  2. Thanks a lot :-) You'd really helped me through it!
  3. THANK YOU!
  4. It does not come w/ the adapter. Just bought this product and only CDs and manuals were included inside. Frustrating.
  5. Thats the best Tutorial!!!!!!
  6. this DOES NOT WORK ON a MacBook Late 2011, this would of been to easy!!!
  7. Can you add this SSD to a MacBook Air?
  8. Do these really come with USB to SATA adapter?
  9. Hello
    I had problems installing the SSD 850 evo. My macbook is the model early 2011 13 '. When I try to install OS X get the error: "It is not possible to disassemble the unit." What can it be?
  10. Works perfectly!!! Read down the thread, because you need to reboot slightly differently into disk utility if you're on Yosemite.
  11. To clone your HDD to SSD in Disk Utility your macbook will need to be booted up from 'recovery drive'. Press 'option' or 'alt' when the computer is booting up, then select recovery. Then follow steps to clone.
  12. THANKS
  13. there is no "erase" command in el capitan disk recovery, can you explain me the procedure step by step please?
  14. What procedure i have to follow in el capitan recovery mode to clone my hd like they do in the video? el capitan's disk recovery is different and i don't find out the same commands
  15. Nicely produced and very clear. Only one problem - she says a SATA cable for cloning is included with all Samsung SSD's... Nope. Oh well.
  16. Under Mac OSX Yosemite, you must enter the restoration mode, by restarting the mac with command + R pressed, so you may clone your old hdd to your new ssd using disk utility. See ya!
  17. Bad info.  With Yosemite the Disk Utility will not allow the home drive to be used as the restore source.  Now I have to find SuperDuper or something.

    Used this video to help me upgrade an existing HDD on a MacBook Pro mid-2010 to a 500GB Samsung 840 EVO.  Short and simple step-by-step instructions.  Other videos had too much superfluous information that was not necessary to do the job.  Additional note, besides a phillips screwdriver, you will also need a Torx wrench.
  19. I know what I want for Xmas. 840 evo. Drool. I miss having a snappy computer.
  20. Mid 2009 MacBook white
    So I had a friend of mine Install a new Samsung hard drive in my MacBook ( stated above ) and it won't Install any os note I don't have the original hdd because it went bad and wouldn't boot anyway
