    Not true that this unibody 2012 is the last macbook to be upgradeable. Lots of later macs are upgradeable. The Retina can have larger ssd, and the macbook air 2017 can have up to 4tb ssd upgrade.

    I have the mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15-inch with Mac OS 10.12.6 on the 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. When attempting to reformat, I am not given the option to format as APFS, only the following: four options for "Mac OS Exteneded" with some combination of "Journaled", "Case-sensitive," and "Encrypted"; "ExFAT"; and "MS-DOS (FAT)." WHat would you recommend I use in this case? Thanks!

    Careful!!!! You cannot use an SSD as a storage device. They work great as your computer engine disk because they are so fast, but if you start storing large amount of data on an SSD you cannot even get much futher than 50% storage space before it crashes (and because of crash it's hard to clean out). This actually only works in combination with an HHD in place or your optical drive so you can still use all your files and your computer won't have to write data to the SSD.

    5:42 JESUS NO! NEVER lift up on a sata drive like that EVER while it is connected! He is just lucky he didn't damage the drive or adapter. Always slide the drive straight out of the connection before removing it or you are likely to have a bad time.
