with the stock SSD it was more of about 12 or 13 seconds so the booting is twice as fast and the read and write of files is about 3 times faster depending on the nvme drive that you buy.

To do this though, you need a little adapter from sintech which you can buy on Amazon for 12.99 but certain machines when this adapter is installed, can/will hang at shut down and sometimes have a weird sleep issue which there are a few fixes for by running a couple of commands in the terminal app but it doesn't really work on all machines either but on my 20 MacBook Pro retina has the adapter has works perfectly for both of them so I'm running a much much faster nvme style SSD which is amazing. The nvme drive I swapped it out for has an average read-write speed of 3500 give or take. My stock SSD had a read and write speed average of about 1500 give or take.

What's awesome about the SSD, is that it's so fast in most cases it can kind of make up for the lack of ram upgrade ability on the machines that aren't upgradable because programs still open so quick.Īlso what you can do, is buy a sintech nvme adapter and an nvme style SSD which are three times or so faster than a standard Apple SSD. Well, you ask what does that mean? It means the average persons MacBook Pro Retina will only last 2 years (and degrade by $4 every time you plug it in)Īpple needs to go back to how they were when the became who they once were. They have now started glueing the Retina models battery to the case with an abundant amount of glue and they are non replaceable with a life expectancy of 1K charge cycles. (i.e MacBook Pro Retinas and MacBook Air's) The Life expectance of the Retina models are 2 years, Apple is selling out what used to be a company that was dedicated to the users is now only worried about profit and made many if not all of the past models upgradeable parts now non upgradeable in the newer models.

Simply because Apple says 8 GB is the maximum amount doesn’t make it true, I have 16 GB in my (Mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro) and Apple says the maximum RAM is 8 GB so take what they say with a grain of salt. However in older unibody MacBook Pro's many people have doubled the claimed maximum amount. You actually can’t upgrade the RAM at all. No! The 2012 MacBook Pro ‘‘Retina’’ cannot upgrade the RAM to 16 GB after purchase,
