I CLONED MY FACTORY HARD-DRIVE, UPGRADED SSD and UPGRADED RAM.
Due to SSD and RAM always fluctuating in price, I was lucky enough to purchase the SSD/RAM at very low prices during the coronavirus pandemic, $40 and $30 respectively. Keep an eye out on the market of when they drop in price to get the cheapest parts for the upgrade.
Factory macbook specs:
Macbook Pro 13-inch (Early 2011 model)
“Core i5”
320GB Serial ATA Macintosh HD
4GB RAM 1333mHz DDR3
In this video, i’m going to show you a step by step tutorial on how to clone your existing Hard-Drive to a new Samsung Evo 860 Solid State Drive (SSD)
And how to install your new SSD and 16GB RAM.
Macbook after upgrade:
Macbook Pro 13-inch
500GB Samsung 860 Evo
16GB RAM 1333mHz DDR3

Excellent tutorial video. I had not used my MacBook Pro regularly due to it's sluggishness and unreliability. Purchasing a Dell laptop which now has the Dell Sticky Finger" keyboard was my go laptop. Horrible! I viewed and followed the steps on this upgrade which were easy overall. I made the exact upgrades. After I in installed the ram and ssd the laptop responded immediately. I performed the speed test and saw a difference. When the Apple popped up on the screen on the start up it took less than 20 seconds for main screen to load. Incredible! It was a great laptop when I purchased it and it's even better now with the upgrade. The transferring of data from the source to the destination was the longest wait. I only had 50GB used because of infrequent use for the past few years. THANKS SO MUCH! :). All I need now is a good Dell Sticky Finger Keyboard replacement video.
Nice to see great content ❤️❤️
Awesome vid. Worked perfectly!
Congrats..!!! Great Job.!.!!
amazing video bro. you got yourself a 500th sub, those HDD screws needing pliers was a godsend, i almost ruined a screw driver until i saw your video. :) Thank you

Excellent video! Thanks for putting this together and including the links for all of the new parts and gadgets you used. I was able to update the HD in my late 2011 MBP without any issues. It now boots up and loads programs much more quickly! Awaiting my new RAM to arrive, and I'm now confident that I'll be able to upgrade that without issue as well. Thanks again!

You can upgrade to macOS High Sierra since it support for 64-bit machine and file system, APFS supported.
Thank you so much , I have same macbook pro 2011 ( Core I7 2.7 ghz) , but i need to video editing 4k file , If i upgrade 16gb ram then , Does it good work ?
Hi! So I bought everything and took the courage to do this on my own but I'm stuck at the very first step 😓 when I plug the SSD with the exact same cable as yours in my MacBook no window shows up and at disk utility there is only the internal HD nothing else.... what might be the problem or is that a sign I shouldn't do this? 🥲 thanksss
Ps: Is definitely no USB problem
I had also upgraded my early 2011 MBP to 8GB RAM and Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series (256 GB). But today I checked my write speed is 20 MB/s and read speed is around 250 MB/s. Why is this so ? Can I do something to improve the read and write speed ?
Will these same parts also work on a late 2011 13" model running High Sierra?
What if i don,t care about the old HD , can i just replace it with out cloing or backup ?
Hey is it ok to just due this without cloning the data if you don't care about saving it? Will it still open with the software after?
Which one is better?
MacBook pro late 2011 i7
384 Intel graphics
MacBook pro mid 2012 i5
1.5GB Intel graphics
How much did you spend for the SSD and RAM?
After cloning and restarting, how long did it take to boot up? Mine is just showing the loding button for like 4 hrs 😫
It took about 20 seconds to boot up. Hope it went well?
Can you also just go in to recovery mode and format the disk to os x format with it installed?
What’s the best macOS to run on the MacBook 2011 i5 13” model
Hi Iam looking to upgrade my late 2011 erly 2012 Macbook I wanted to know if I follow ur steps with with carbon copy cloned will it transfer all the files and application I have on my old hard drive- I just want to make sure as I don’t want to lose any of my application as I got them for free and would rather not pay for them
Please do let me know Thankyou
ISSUE! After watching this movie I replaced my hard drive of my macbook (late 2011) with a samsung 860 evo SSD drive. After a week, it started having problems with a known blue screen with grains and blurriness on the screen. At first I thought it was the video card, but after I started the macbook with its old hard disk, macbook worked again. Any idea where this could be? I also see in the video that you changed the ram memory and I didn't? In a forum I read that the power of an SSD consumes more power than an HDD and will cause problems due to the delivery of data over the bandwidth. Who can help me get out of the fire?
hello an info: I have a mac like your Macbook Pro 13-inch (Early 2011 model) but I have an i7 how did you fit in the mac el capitan? he tells me it's not supported in mine. I thank you. then another info: looking on the various data sheets tells me that the maximum ram I can matter is a total of 8gb I face that you have put 16gb! is fine even with 16 ?? a thousand thanks. ps: i'm italian sorry my english ;)
WHAT MAC OS DID U INSTALL AT THE END OF THE UPGRADES
Is there any way to do this upgrade/back up files if my 2011 MBP is so slow it won’t load anything??
Hi, I upgraded my 2011 MacBook pro to high sierra, the machine is very very slow
Any idea to make it fast
I have a A1278 Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. I cant update the software anymore..I can’t use the Safari anymore and RUclips does not work. is there anything I can do to make it work?
Excellent video!! It is ok to buy the Samsung Memorie SSD 870 EVO instead of the 860 one?
It should be, any SATA ssd should work, not m.2 or nvme ones tho. It depends per macbook model and ssd
my father has this laptop then i was old and gave it to me it works good but i want to update trying to learn how to
Was just about to ask if worth upgrading on an i5 processor. Answered my question on your screen.Going from 4ram to 16 ram first or should I?
Definitely go for the 16 ram first!! And for sure its always worth upgrading! :) let me know how it goes
This is a great idea but Im not sure it will fix my issue. My mac keeps running slow and just throttles. Not sure if this will fix it
I have a macbook pro late 2011 13 inch with upgrade to 256 gb ssd. Going to upgrade RAM to 16 gb after watching your video. One question though...can we replace the battery too? Any other components that can make it more faster and compatible to today's machines?
Yes you can replace your battery and its also very easy. But sadly, you cant upgrade anything other than RAM and SSD. Not even CPU.
Hello my UPGRADED MBP early 2011 running High Sierra can't detect my external monitor using a thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. Does anyone know what might be causing the problem please.? Thank you

hello i am try to upgrade the mid 2014 to new ssd : el capitan" can i use this procedure using clone/ restore , without full new install..?? because all other tutorial always using new OS install for mid 2014 upgrade.
it says CCC4 is not longer supported, so should i just download CCC5 onto the SSD? My macbook is OS high sierra 10.13.6
What happens if I click on clone again by mistake after succesfully done? 😢 I hit stop seconds later. But will it affect the volume?

How is it possible My computer started running slower. Taking almost 3 times as long to be operate.
I also got a 13" Macbook Pro 2011. And according to Apple support the RAM is only supposed to be upgraded max 8gb but you upgraded it to 16gb. Any thoughts on this? Great video by the way!
Thanks for the comment! 😊 yeah apple say the max the MacBook is able to handle is 8gb, however your MacBook will support 16gb great! My Macbook has been running super fast after the upgrade and I have had no issues :) Please Subscribe!
@@RSeni why not take it up to 32?
Grab an optical drive to SATA HDD caddy off of amazon so that you can replace the useless DVD drive with even more storage. I'm running a 1TB SSD boot drive and a 4TB mechanical disk for tons of extra space for video and lossless music storage. Also, download Dosdude1's Catalina patcher to upgrade to the latest version of OSX.These Macbook Pro's run Catalina just fine, no performance hits.
fsjonsey great advice! I am thinking of doing so very soon!
Hey bud, I have the same lap top and I’m not able to run classic WoW on it with the current specs, are you able to run classic wow with the upgrades ? Would mean a lot if you replied thank you !
Hey pal! It could be that the processing speed of the CPU can’t handle classic WoW. Though, I haven’t tried running classic WoW on it yet. So I’m not too sure. Keep me updated if you find a way!
@@RSeni yeah it might be that, it used to be able to run wow, but since I’m not able to download a newer version of iOS, it’s unable to run classic wow anymore.. sucks to say but I might need a new lap top 😅
Great video 👍🏼
I got a MacBook Pro (13”, early 2011)
OS X Yosemite.
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5

Can the OS be updated after this hardware upgrade? If so which latest OS can it update to?
Thanks in advance!👍🏼
Thank you for your comment!!
Yeahh definitely! Just type in on google whichever MacOS software you want to upgrade to and you’ll be able to find it and download (It may even be on an apple website last time i checked).
I am excited to see how you get on with the upgrade!! Let me know how it goes! Will love to hear it.

I put the existing hdd in the optical drive caddy n the ssd inside and do the cloning process like that?
do you have to clone the new ssd? can i just bypass that step and install ?
any tutorial for format or reset macbook pro 2011 ?

This was an awesome tip man. Can u upgrade the OS after this- have u tried this?
You can upgrade it to the recent compatible OS High Sierra.
@@datb0imarn3 Im already on this OS High Sierra. I guess after the upgrade i'll have enough juice to hack in Catalina or Big Sur. Thanks MJ
Will any SATA III drive work with the unibody mbp? I read somewhere that some have issues with them
Yeah any SATA III will work :) I used a SATA III drive and it works perfectly. I did come across various people online who's SATA cable that was in the macbook was damaged and they had to reinstall a new one. So when you take apart the old HD, be careful to not damage the original SATA cable attached to it in the macbook. Let me know how it goes.
can i just put new ssd inside and reinstall from there? i don't want to clone data or anything.
Thanks. I have bootcamp ( windows ) portion in my early 2011 MacBook Pro , will the cloning copy that portion or I have redo the bootcamp portion. And also suggest can I go with 1TB hard disk with 16gb ram for the upgradation . Very useful video .
Hi, the cloning should copy everything on your hard disk. 1TB & 16gb ram will work wonders! :) go for it
@@RSeni Thansk for your reply.
Nice! Did you use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer data from old hdd to new ssd? And did it transfer your windows partition also?
@@parkerrogers2277 at present i just upgraded my ram only. yes i will try the carbon cloner. suggest the carbon cloner name . thanks
what was the benchmark software you used to test the read and write speeds?
Its an app on MAC OS called “BlackMagic Speed Test”
I am right now attempting this. Oh Please Lord help. I aint never done nothing like this before.
Dear Sir. It worked! I didn't reseat the memory correctly and it kept beeping at me. But, I googled it and got it fixed. Thank you. Your video made me feel like I could really do it. It was excellent.
Hello, you can replace the DVD Drive with a SSD/HDD by using a Caddy Adapter to give you more storage, you don't have to do this but if you're running out of the storage, then you should do this method.
Love this! I’m thinking of doing it definitely soon to increase my storage! Subscribe! 😊
@@RSeni You're welcome, tell me when you have replaced the DVD Drive with SSD/HDD. Thanks!
Before the procedures, you need to disconnect the battery loop, and after installing the SSD, turn on TRIM
Yes I agree!
Thanks a lot RSeni (Rajan) for your video, was really helpful for my SSD upgrade. I'm only wondering if there is any further need to upgrade my 8GB RAM to 16GB ... any thoughts?
Glad it all worked out well for you!
And to be honest, for this laptop 8gb RAM is more than enough and you won’t notice too much difference unless you are using your laptop for editing and gaming etc
The more ram means you can open up more applications at the same time. But if you’re just using it for standard use then 8gb ram is more than sufficient enough!
RSeni will upgrading to 16gb ram and 500ssd improve gaming like for example roblox not games that need super good cpu

Yes you can :) I haven’t tried that yet but I will attempt it soon to have 2 sets of SSDs in my laptop to make it faster, stay tuned!
hi i did everthing and its all god but, looks like my mac os lag a lil bit more than before its strange
Do I need the ssd transfer cable to change the hard drive or could I just swap the hard drive straight out as I won’t have any personal data on the existing hard drive (it’s a clear hard drive) Thanks
Just stick a bootable copy of OSX on a usb, then install the new SSD. Erase the new drive and select some option like “partition as macOS (journaled). Then just power up whilst holding the option key and boot from the USB
Specifications on internet says that 8gb is max. 16 will work on any version from 2011 for sure?
Yes 16gb will work for sure! Just make sure the Ram is 1333Mhz - or compatible to your CPU. Subscribe!! :)
If one doesn’t want to back up their data will the first be necessary? Or can they just replace the HDD with the SSD?
You can just replace the HDD with the SSD. But you will have to make sure you have Mac OS installed :)

Hi, did you have to buy Carbon copy cloner or did you use the basic downloaded version?
I downloaded the basic version
My MacBook Pro 2012 runs but it's slow. After maybe 30 minutes the fan will get loud. If I upgrade the components, will it fix the fan speed/noise?
No it will not. The reason your fan is getting loud is because your CPU is heating too much. In order to fix it, you will need to clean dust from the fan and heatsink and you will probably need changing thermal paste on your CPU too which will require removing the whole motherboard. But dont worry! There are bunch of tutorials on RUclips which show this and with little patience and time you can easily do it and it will make night and day difference after doing all of things above.

Hey bro I’m about to buy the SSD of Amazon how reliable is amazon? Or can you link me to where you purchased the SSD card & the ram? Is the ram necessary to be changed as well or can I just changed the SSD & I’ll still have improvements? Cheers bro!
Hi buddy, you don’t have to change the RAM. Changing the SSD would be more than sufficient enough to boost your laptop’s speed. But Ram would help with loading more programs at once. Amazon is usually very reliable :) just make sure your SSD is of a good/well-known company (such as crucial or samsung)
RSeni thank you heaps mate Just started out and learning from watching your videos I’m gonna buy a Samsung SSD 860 evo and install it in to my MacBook Pro thanks again man for taking the time out of your day to help out me and others thanks!

I have an macbook pro 2011 15’ i7. It has 4gb ram and 1tb hard drive. Do i need to change it to ssd or will it be fine? Or slow?
It depends on how it is running right now? Is it fast or slow? Usually by upgrading the HDD to SSD is what makes your laptop a lot faster and boosts your boot up speeds :)
