Hi,
I own an early 2011 13" Macbook Pro and I decided that I wanted to give it a little boost by adding some RAM to it as well as an SSD. The thing is I'm not an expert so I don't know what are the best brands out there. For the RAM I think I want to upgrade it to 8 GB but I'm still a bit indecisive when it comes to the SSD capacity: if there is a simple way to still keep my original HD with the SSD (and remove the superdrive which I have no use for) then 128 GB would do fine otherwise 256GB. Now having said that, I have read the sticky regarding the SSDs and those SATA (no idea what that is) issues seem pretty scary since I own a 2011 MBP, but given the age of the thread, has this been fixed by now ? And if so what are the best quality/price SSD models out there ?
Secondly, I would also like to buy a wireless Keyboard/Mouse for my MBP because I connect it a lot to my TV. I think I'm gonna go for the Apple keyboard and since I'm not a fan of the Magic Mouse, I don't know what mouse to buy, I own a Microsoft mouse that I bought for 5 but the scroll wheel is not as smooth as the trackpad, so what I'm looking for a mouse is to be wireless, smooth scrolling and comfortable (I only play Minecraft and Football Manager on my machine).
Thanks in advance for any help!
