There are many RAM and SSD brands out there which reportedly work well on Mac such as Samsung, Hynix, and Corsair.

Why do we pay more if we can get it for less? As long as the specification of the RAM or SSD are the same, it should work without any problem. Although the price is much more expensive than the HDD, the SSD offers four times faster than HDD in the read/write speed.īasically you can easily come to Apple retail store nearest to you to upgrade RAM or SSD but Apple may charge you four times or even more expensive than you purchase from general computer stores. The RAM should be upgraded to at least 8 GB and the hard drive should be replaced with an SSD (Solid State Disk). I need to increase the performance of my macbook because I can’t deal with this condition.Īfter reading in several Mac forums, someone told me to upgrade both RAM and the hard drive. It took around 62 seconds to boot and ran virtual machine very slowly. Everything was fine until once time when I run virtualisation and coding using Eclipse, the macbook pro run very slow. I have a 13-inch MacBook Pro early 2011 which has 4 GB of RAM and 320 GB of HDD storage.
